KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has set March 23 for
case management of PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad's lawsuit against
former attorney-general Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail.
Judicial commissioner Datuk Roslan A. Bakar fixed the date in
chambers today during which the plaintiff's counsel, Syahredzan Johan,
and senior federal counsel Zureen Elina Mohd Dom were present.
Syahredzan told reporters when met that the March 7 and 8 hearing
dates for the case had also been vacated as Nik Nazmi has another case
pending at the Shah Alam High Court. The new hearing dates have not been
set.
On Jan 5, the Shah Alam High Court set June 13 to 16 for Nik Nazmi's
trial involving a charge of organising an illegal rally dubbed 'Black
505'.
He allegedly committed the offence at Kelana Jaya Stadium in Petaling
Jaya in 2013, under Section 9(1) of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012.
Nik Nazmi, 34, filed the lawsuit against Abdul Gani on March 31,
2015, alleging that the then attorney-general's act to reprosecute him
despite the Court of Appeal's decision on April 25, 2014, to dismiss the
charge against him, was malicious.
The plaintiff was charged at the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court for the second time on May 6, 2014. – Bernama
