PETALING JAYA: The government has lost its appeal to strike out M Indira Gandhi’s nonfeasance suit against them, the inspector-general of police, the police and the home ministry.
A three-member Court of Appeal panel found no merits in the government’s appeal and upheld the High Court’s decision to proceed with the trial.
Judge Hanipah Farikullah, who chaired the panel, dismissed the appeal and ordered the government to pay RM10,000 in costs.
She said there were “complex issues of law” that needed to be ventilated at a full hearing.
She ordered the High Court in Kuala Lumpur to hear the case on Sept 14.
Indira filed her suit last year, citing police inaction in executing the warrant against her former husband, Riduan Abdullah, for failing to hand over custody of their youngest daughter, Prasana Diksa, to her.
MORE TO COME

Too early to rejoice.
ReplyDeleteLet's wait to see the government's next step. But it won't be surprising if an appeal is filed in the Federal Court by the government.
Die, die must not let Indira have her day in court.
Yes, there are strong circumstantial evidence to indicate the IGP and the Police in general , deliberately dragged their feet in not acting on the Federal Court order to arrest Riduan Abdullah.
