Following is the text of conversation between Judge Tahilyani and Kasab:
Judge Tahilyani: Tumhara naam kya hai? (What's your name)
Kasab: Mohammad Ajmal Amir Kasab.
Judge: Kahan ke rehne wale ho? (Where are you from)
Kasab: Pakistan main Faridkot. (Faridkot in Pakistan)
Judge: Kya tumhe charge-sheet ki copy mili? (Did you receive a copy of the chargesheet)
Kasab: Haan. (Yes)
Judge: Vakil hai kya? (Do you have a lawyer)
Kasab: Filhal toh nahi. (As of now.. No)
Judge: Vakil appoint karna chahte ho? (Do you want to appoint a lawyer)
Kasab: Jee sir. Jo November 27 ko mere liye khade hue the.. Unhi ko bulalo." (Yes sir, you can call the lawyer who appeared on my behalf on November 27..)
Judge: Meri jaankari main toh aapke liye koi lawyer nahi tha. Aap chahte ho toh aapko sarkari vakil appoint karke de sakte hain. (As per my knowledge, there was no lawyer for you on that day. If you wish we can appoint a defence lawyer from the government)
