May 13 date to hear Lokman's appeal to set aside leave to initiate committal proceedings

Malaysiakini

The Court of Appeal has fixed May 13 to hear former Umno Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam’s appeal to set aside the leave obtained by the attorney-general (AG) to initiate committal proceedings against him for allegedly intimidating a witness in the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) trial.
The AG's Chambers received a letter dated April 2 from the court notifying that the hearing date has been rescheduled to May 13.
The appellate court had earlier set March 31 for the hearing of Lokman's appeal.
On Jan 14, this year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur dismissed Lokman's application to set aside the leave obtained by former AG Tommy Thomas to initiate committal proceedings against him for allegedly intimidating a witness in former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak's 1MDB case.
On Oct 22 last year, the High Court granted leave for the AG to initiate committal proceedings against Lokman for contempt of court acts perpetrated on two occasions on Sept 25, last year.
In the application, the AG had sought an order for Lokman to be committed to prison or be fined for his actions.
Last month, the Court of Appeal granted Lokman a stay of the committal proceedings hearing pending disposal of his appeal in the Court of Appeal.
