HC rejects Abu Jundal's plea to appear in courts

“If Jundal was allowed to come to the court and some thing happens to him, then who would be responsible for this?” he asked.

Yagnik said that Jundal could be produced before the court through the medium of video conference and his physical appearance was not necessary.

Jundal's lawyer argued that the impugned GR was contrary to fundamental right of public hearing and a free and fair trial of the Constitution. Hence, it was void, vague, unconstitutional and arbitrary.

Jundal, facing charges of participating in the conspiracy in 26/11 terror attack case, is currently lodged in solitary confinement in Central Jail at Arthur Road in Central Mumbai, since February 2013.

According to police, Jundal had gone to Pakistan to train the terrorists in speaking Hindi. Ten terrorists, who arrived in Mumbai via sea route on November 26, 2008, killed 166 persons and injured many others by firing indiscriminately in public places.
