K B N Lam, a Mumbai advocate who has been a a barrister at London's famous Lincoln's Inn and currently teaches law at Government Law College, Mumbai has moved in an application, showing his willingness to take Kasab's case. Lam says, " every accused has the rightto legal representation. It is not for the people or the police to decide who is guilty as it is the court's job. " Lam says that he has no sympathy for the terrorists who attacked Mumbai but he still felt that Kasab had to be "treated humanely in accordance with the tenets of our society".
He further says "There is no point in beating a man half-dead, no matter what his crime is." He adds that he will also explore if there is any possibility of allowing Kasab's family in Pakistan to come down and meet him. Lam has an impressive record of teaching mathematics and econometrics at the London School of Economics for six years.
