PUTRAJAYA, March 15 — The Court of Appeal will convene for three days, beginning June 10, to hear an appeal by two former police Special Action Unit personnel in connection with the murder of a Mongolian woman, Altantuya Shaariibuu in 2006.
Lawyer Kitson Foong, representing former corporal Sirul Azhar Umar, said Court of Appeal deputy registrar Darmafikri Abu Adam had informed the prosecution and defence in the case that Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif had given instructions that the appeal be heard on June 10 until June 12.
He said, since the hearing dates fell within the court vacation period, a special panel would be convened to hear the appeal.
He also told reporters that both the prosecution and defence were required to file their written submissions, two weeks before June 10.
During court vacation, there is no court proceeding to hear appeals but judges are given time to complete their grounds of judgment or deliver judgments.
