India news court backlog 2012 1 11 0

India's court backlog is not looking so victorious. Here, however, special public prosecutor Ujjwal Nikam flashes a victory sign after speaking with media outside the high court in Mumbai on February 21, 2011. Two Indian judges rejected the appeal of the sole surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks against his conviction and death sentence. The judges at the Bombay High Court dismissed the appeal by Pakistani national Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab over his role in the attacks that killed 166 and injured more than 300 people.
