Session Court's Procesure
After the withdrawal of the case against 15 accused and fixing the approvers by Special Magistrate Syed Ainuddin with the help of Dy. S.P. (C.I.D.) Khan Bahadur Tasadduk Husain, the final case against 28 accused started on 21 May 1926 in the special session court of A. Hamilton. Abbas Salim Khan, Banwari Lal Bhargava, Gyan Chattarjee and Mohd Ayuf were the assessers of the case. Among these 28, three accused viz. Sachindra Nath Sanyal, Jogesh Chandra Chatterjee and Rajendra Nath Lahiri were dragged in the trial from Bengal as they had already been held there.
Court appointed Jagat Narayan Mulla as public prosecutor knowingly, because Jagat Narayan was prejudice to Ram Prasad Bismil since 1916 when Bismil leaded the grand procession of Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak against his will at Lucknow. He had also been the public procecutor in Mainpuri conspiracy case of 1918.
Jagat Narayan Mulla pleaded the case as public prosecutor on behalf of the Government whereas Ram Prasad Bismil defended his case himself.

“I need not tell you of the inadequacy of the American shipping marine on the Pacific Coast.... For this reason it seems to me that there is no subject to which Congress can better devote its attention in the coming session than the passage of a bill which shall encourage our merchant marine in such a way as to establish American lines directly between New York and the eastern ports and South American ports, and both our Pacific Coast ports and the Orient and the Philippines.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The Twist was a guided missile, launched from the ghetto into the very heart of suburbia. The Twist succeeded, as politics, religion, and law could never do, in writing in the heart and soul what the Supreme Court could only write on the books.”
—Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)
