KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today set Sept 7 to hear the revision applications by Kinabatangan Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Bung Moktar Radin and his wife Datin Seri Zizie Izette Abdul Samad of the Sessions Court's decision ordering them to enter their defence on a RM2.8mil corruption charge.
Judge Azhar Abdul Hamid set the date after Bung Moktar’s lawyer M. Athimulan told the court that they need at least three weeks to submit written submissions.
On Dec 9, last year, High Court Judicial Commissioner Azhar Abdul Hamid dismissed their revision applications without hearing the merits of the applications after accepting the prosecution’s preliminary objection that the revision applications were improper before the court as they had used the wrong method to file the applications.
This prompted them to file revision applications in the High Court. Following the High Court’s dismissal of their revision applications, they filed an appeal to the Court of Appeal.
