Confessional statement of convicts not legally valid: Advocate S Nagamuthu

Confessional statement of convicts not legally valid: Advocate S Nagamuthu

Mumbai, Jan 15 (UNI) Former Justice of Kerala High Court S Nagamuthu, now a senior advocate, on Wednesday challenged before the Bombay High Court the conviction of two men on death row in the Mumbai 7/11 train blasts case saying the confessional statement of the duo recorded by the police was given under duress and so cannot be used as evidence against them.
Arguing before a special bench of Justice Anil Kilor and Justice Shyam Chandak on behalf of the convicts, Nagamuthu cited various judgements of the apex court and claimed that the confessional statement of convicts Faisal Atta Urehman Shaikh and Ali Shaikh were not recorded as per the guidelines framed by the Supreme Court.
He dismissed the statements as "bogus" and claimed they were prepared by the investigation agencies.
