PKR leader Anwar Ibrahim is back at the Sessions Court today over the sodomy charge levelled against him by a former aide.
This morning Sessions judge SM Komathy Suppiah will be hearing arguments from both the prosecution and the defence counsel on whether the case can be transferred to the High Court.
At the last hearing, the prosecution had sought permission for the matter to be transferred to the High Court. However the defence team objected to the transfer notice as it was signed by attorney- general (AG) Abdul Gani Patail.
Their objection was on the basis that the AG should not have played any role in this case as he was being investigated following a complaint that the had tampered with evidence in Anwar's cases 10 years ago.
Justice Komathy then adjourned the matter to today to give both parties time to research the matter and to submit arguments. - Malaysiakini.com
