On Tuesday February 14 2008 Mumbai terror attack culprit and Pakistani terrorist Ajmal Kasab mentioned to Supreme Court that the death penalty awarded on the reasoning by the supreme court was inappropriate.

An adviser to the court, Raju Ramachandran who appeared on behalf of kasab, appealed the apex court bench of Justice Aftab Alam and Justice C.K. Prasad to decline those sensible factors resulted in awarding death sentence to Kasab.

As Raju Ramachandran opposed trial court declaration, Justice Alam mentioned that any of these two reasons make sense that he Kasab was kept alive one more Kandahar will take place and he awarded with death sentence there could be chances of revenge.

The apex court inquired if the "expenses of keeping such a convict alive was for the legislature to decide and not for the court to take into consideration".

Ramachandran said that the cost of keeping the convict could not be factored in by the trial court.

The court was hearing an appeal by Kasab challenging the upholding of his death sentence by the Bombay High court Feb 21, 2011.

Ajmal Kasab was one of the tenth Pakistani terrorist who was unlawfully sailed to India from his country Pakistan and created a terror in Mumbai killing 166 people among them are mostly foreigners.
