Court date for Neelofa and hubby now set for June 23

 

The celebrity couple were charged with not registering before entering the shop while Muhammad Haris Mohd Ismail was also charged for failing to wear a face mask.

SEREMBAN: The case of celebrity couple Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor and her husband Muhammad Haris Mohd Ismail, who have been charged with violating movement control rules, has been postponed to June 23.

Their lawyer Haresh Mahadevan said that case management had been scheduled to resume on Friday but was rescheduled due to the 14-day total lockdown starting tomorrow.

“The Seremban magistrates’ court has fixed June 23 as the next case management date. The June 4 date is hereby vacated,” he said.

On May 20, the couple pleaded not guilty to charges of violating movement control rules at a carpet shop in Nilai near here early this month.

They face a fine not exceeding RM50,000 or imprisonment for up to six months, or both, if found guilty.

Muhammad Haris, 26, was charged with two counts of failing to wear a face mask and also not checking-in through the MySejahtera application or recording his details in the registration book at Kedai Naeem Carpet Sdn Bhd, Kawasan Perindustrian Nilai 3, Nilai, at 4pm on May 2.

Noor Neelofa, 32, was charged with failing to check-in at the same place and time.

Asked about the case against Noor Neelofa for not wearing a face mask in court, Haresh said the matter was still under investigation. - FMT
