The Bombay High court division bench of Justice Ranjana Desai and Justice R V More allowed the defence to check the boat.
The police case is that Kasab and the none other terrorists had travelled from Pakistan in the boat Al-Husseini. They then hijacked the Indian fishing boat "Kuber" to reach Mumbai. They abandoned Kuber, and used the dhingy to land at Budhwar Park.
