Another day in the trial of lone surviving terrorist Ajmal Qasab of Mumbai attack and another twist in the story. Now Anjali Waghmare has been removed by the court for professional misconduct. It can safely be assumed that she is competent lawyer if she was appointed as defence lawyer but still she choose not to report to the court about her other cases where she is represnting the victims of the same case. It can not be said that it is a new development against here since it was in the news full two week back that she was representing two victims of the attack.
Ofcourse court has taken the right decision in removing her from the case but she wasted two weeks of a case of importance for the world. This case was center of media attention and any lawyer who will take this case will become famous as criminal defence lawyer in Mumbai, if not India. It is pity that she was appointed at the first place and the agencies did not take care to check the media reports about her involvement in the case.
She did get benefit of not telling her involvement. She become media star and her video and images were beamed accross the world. She enjoyed VVIP status for 2 weeks. Anjali Waghmare also got Z-category security at the expense of the tax payers. She can not plead innocent in this case. She knows the law and knowingly used the system.
Shouldn't she be charged for her unprofessional behaviour. She should also be made liable to pay the cost of the Z-category security she enjoyed for two weeks. Tax payers money can not be spend on anyone who knowingly use the system for their benefit.
