Ujjwal Nikam’s most sensational 26/11 case was the prosecution of Ajmal Kasab in the Mumbai terror attacks. In that trial, he was on the prosecution/state side , not the defence side, and he argued that the attack was a coordinated terror conspiracy and that Kasab should be convicted.

Quick Scoop

  • The 26/11 Mumbai attacks trial was one of India’s most high-profile terror cases.
  • Ujjwal Nikam served as the special public prosecutor for the state in that case.
  • The defence side for Kasab was separate; the prosecution was led by Nikam.
  • The case became widely discussed because it involved live evidence, eyewitnesses, forensic material, and the rare capture of one attacker alive.

Why it stood out

The trial drew huge attention because the attacks targeted multiple places in Mumbai and left massive loss of life. The prosecution presented a large body of witness and forensic evidence, and the case became nationally significant for its legal and security implications.

If you meant “defence side”

If your question is about who appeared on the defence side in the 26/11 case, that was not Ujjwal Nikam. He was the prosecutor arguing against Kasab and the other accused.

TL;DR

Ujjwal Nikam’s famous 26/11 role was as the prosecutor against Ajmal Kasab, not the defence lawyer.
