Pune: Key accused in the multi-crore fake stamp paper case Abdul Karim Telgi has expressed his desire to confess in all the fake stamp cases across the country, his lawyers said today (Mar 09 2006).

Telgi, who last month confessed in a 105-page statement before Chief Judicial Magistrate D W Modak here in the stamp seizure case registered in Mumbai in 1995, now wants to make a detailed confession in all the cases, one of the lawyer Milind Pawar told sources.

"Telgi has asked me and lawyer Harshad Nimbalkar to file a petition before the Special MCOCA court in Pune, which is hearing the Bund Garden fake stamp case.

"He (Telgi) wants to inform the court about his intention to make a similar confessional statement with regard to all the fake stamp cases registered in different parts of the country," Pawar said.

According to Pawar, Telgi told him that "I want to make a detailed confessional statement in all the stamp cases, from 1993 to 1995. My confession before the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Pune last month with regard to the 1995 case registered in Mumbai had some limitation, for it pertained only to four cases of 1995 registered in Mumbai.

"In the confessional statement that now I intend to make before the Special MCOCA court here, I want to reveal everything with regard to all the stamp cases and it should be of at least 700 pages," he has told his lawyers.

Telgi's confessional statement before the CJM, made in February 2006, was of 105 pages.
