» Yakub has not made his will: Lawyer
Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon, whose last-ditch effort to escape
the noose at the Central Prison here on his 53rd birthday tomorrow was
rejected by the Supreme Court, has not prepared any will so far, the
convict's lawyer Anil Gedam said here on Wednesday.
"Yakub was hopeful of some kind of relief from the Supreme Court and
also from his mercy petition with the President. He probably thought he
would survive and will not be hanged which is why he did not prepare any
will," Gedam told PTI .
After his execution as per the TADA court verdict, Yakub's mortal
remains are most likely to be claimed by his family on Thursday, Gedam
said.
In case the family wants to take possession of the body, they should
give an undertaking to the authorities that they will not make an issue
and will not hold any demonstration with the body and that there will be
a quiet burial. But the Maharashtra government has to take a final call
and can decide the place for his last rites, Gedam said.
Also, this purely depends on the law and order situation in the city and elsewhere in Maharashtra, the lawyer added. -- PTI
