In his statement Kasab has alleged that he was pressured into recording his confession which should now be dismissed.
Kasab also claims that he was not allowed to seek legal counsel when his confession was being recorded.
The Supreme Court adjourned an appeal hearing on Tuesday into the death sentence handed down to the lone surviving gunman from the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Kasab one of 10 gunmen who laid siege to Mumbai in attacks which lasted nearly three days and killed 166 people, has appealed for his sentence to be overturned after he was convicted in May 2010.
The 24-year-old was found guilty of a series of crimes, including waging war against India, murder and terror acts.
One of the two Supreme Court judges due to hear the appeal was unavailable on Tuesday, forcing the adjournment, officials said. No date was immediately set for the next hearing.
Kasab's death sentence was confirmed by a state high court in Mumbai last year. If he loses his Supreme Court appeal, he will be able to appeal for clemency from the president.
