The Supreme Court on Thursday indicated it might set up a courtroom inside Delhi's Tihar jail for Jammu and Kashmir separatist leader Yasin Malik in a kidnapping case.

The top court also remarked that "Even Ajmal Kasab was given a fair trial in our country."

The top court bench of Justices Abhay S Oka and Augustine George Masih was hearing a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) plea against a September 2022 order of a Jammu-based Special TADA court.

Malik is currently serving a life term in Tihar jail. He was directed to be produced before the trial court in person for cross-examining the prosecution witnesses in the 1989 kidnapping case of then Union home minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's daughter, Rubaiya Sayeed.
