Move Rampur court for recall to UP,Fahim’s wife told

Principal Sessions Judge M L Tahaliyani on Tuesday told Yasmin Ansari,wife of Fahim Ansari who has been acquitted in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks case,to move the Rampur Sessions Court to pass orders to recall her husband to Uttar Pradesh,so that he could be tried there in the Rampur CRPF camp attack case.

Yasmin had on Friday moved an application stating her husband was not being moved out of Arthur Road Jail even though he had been acquitted by the special court in the 26/11 attacks case. She was told the judgment in the case had been pronounced and Ansari and Sabahuddin Ahmed acquitted and also that the special court had no powers to send them to UP from where the Mumbai police had brought them on transit remand.

“The judge told us it is now the responsibility of the Rampur Sessions Court,from whose custody the accused were produced here,to call the accused back,” said Yasmin.
