Two police officers spent about 75 minutes recording a statement from Court of Appeal judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer following a police report lodged by the Federal Court chief registrar on Feb 15 regarding his explosive affidavit.
They arrived at 9am and completed recording the statement at 10.15am in the judge's chambers.
Also present were Justice Hamid's lawyers, Mohd Haniff Khatri Abdulla and Joy Appukuttan.
According to Haniff, the police asked about the report lodged and his affidavit.
"Justice Hamid reiterated that he is willing to cooperate and will properly answer when the royal commission of inquiry is convened," he said.
Joy added the RCI was the appropriate forum to deal with the matter.
"You are talking about judicial misconduct that was raised in the affidavit and the RCI is the proper forum since the government has agreed to sanction it," he said.
