The money will be distributed in equal proportion among the families of the slain security personnel, who were among the 166 killed on November 26, 2008 by Pakistani terrorists. Kasab was the lone attacker caught alive.
Senior counsel Raju Ramachandran and Gaurav Agarwal, who assisted Kasab in his appeal against death penalty before the court, had said that they were not inclined to accept the Rs. 14.5 lakh fee for their services.
They suggested that the sum could be given to the National Legal Services Authority or the Maharashtra State Legal Services Authority.
