A lawyer appearing for the widow of the late private investigator P Balasubramaniam has brought to the attention of the Kuala Lumpur High Court, two conflicting defences given by Deepak Jaikishan, with regards to the woman's suit against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak, his wife Rosmah Mansor, and seven others.
In the letter dated yesterday given to Justice Hue Siew Kheng by Americk Sidhu, who is representing A Santamil Selvi, the lawyer is seeking to strike out Deepak's defence in the suit, filed on Monday, via his lawyers Shafee and Co.
In the letter sighted by Malaysiakini, Americk said Deepak had personally delivered his defence to him on Oct 25, while the other one from Shafee was sent on Nov 6.
“Upon perusal of both these statements of defence, we notice that they differ substantially in the material particulars pleaded both in substance and in content,” the letter states.
Americk's firm presented a copy of the document dated on Oct 25, and an email attachment of the statement of defence to the court.
“We have instructions to apply to strike out the eighth defendant (Deepak) statement of defence dated Nov 6th,” the letter added.
Copies of this letter were also sent to the lawyers of the eight defendants.
