Karpal fails in bid to subpoena Dr M



The Kuala Lumpur High Court today deserted DAP national chairperson Karpal Singh's duplicate to summons former premier Dr Mahathir Mohamad for a ongoing mutiny hearing opposite a former.
The justice also struck out Karpal's duplicate to summons former attorney-general Abu Talib Othman as well as his successor Abdul Gani Patail.
"A summons can only be released for (senior federal counsel) Kamaluddin Md Said," Justice Azman Abdullah said.
In his created judgment, Azman pronounced Kamaluddin can be subpoenaed to await a defendant's case, following Kamaluddin's view which a a civil fit can be undertaken opposite a Perak sultan.
Azman found a trio's testimonies were not pertinent as Article 145(3) of a federal constitution gives a attorney-general optional powers to "commence or halt any rapist proceeding".
As such a justice need not investigate why Mahathir was not charged with mutiny over statements he had made in Parliament, nor does it need to review his statements with which made by Karpal.
Striking-out bid rejected

In keeping with this, a judge also deserted Karpal's bid tostrike outthe mutiny assign levelled opposite him.

NONEIn his application, Karpal (centre in photo) pronounced a fact which a then-AG chose not to assign Mahathir goes opposite Article 8(1) of a federal constitution which guarantees equal insurance underneath a law.

Azman found Article 145(3), which provides a AG's optional powers, can be exercised but ! contrave ning Article 8.
"The attorney-general is in hold with a police as well as alternative questioning agencies, as well as he has information not accessible to a courts upon which to base his preference upon whether or not to prosecute as well as if so upon which charge," he said.

He combined which "it contingency not be thought which he might movement dishonestly" as well as if in truth he was dishonest in his duty, "the open would be means to uncover their disapproval".

However, he said, this condemnation should not be shown in a courts but "elsewhere as well as in a final resort by choosing by casting votes opposite a party of which he is a member".

Karpal will need to enter his defence upon Nov 2.

Speaking to reporters later, Karpal pronounced which he will file an ap! blare upon both a decisions at a Court of Appeal upon Monday.

The veteran politician, who is also Bukit Gelugor MP, is charged underneath Section 4(1)(b) of a Sedition Act, as well as can be fined up to RM5,000 or detained for 3 years, or both.
