According to the latest Supreme Court appointed top lawyers, senior advocates Raju Ramachandran and Sanjay Hegde to defend them. Supreme Court's decision comes after a bench of Justices Dipak Misra, V Gopala Gowda and Kurian Joseph felt that they should be defended by experienced lawyers and one shouldn't deny them justice.
