This Morning proceedings against the Hindraf lawyers commenced at 11.50 before Court of Appeal Judges Dato Hasan bin Lah, Ahmad bin Maarop and Sulaimaln bin Dand. The vindictive UMNO Attorney General Gani Patail’s Deputy Public Prosecutors(DPP) were Mlohamad Hanafiah and Mohd Farizul Hassan. P. Uthayakumar and P. Waytha Moorthy were represented by lawyers Manoharan Malayalam and R. Kengatharan.
After about half an hour of sbmissions by both parties UMNO Judge Hasan Lah turned down P. Uthayakumar and P. Waytha Moorthy’s appeal despite there being a delay of only 11 days in the filing of the Record of Appeal. That too despite the lawyer in conduct Mr. Manoharan Malayalam explaining that the 11 days delay was because he himself (and his client P. Uthayakumar) was at that time detained without trial under the Internal Security Act for 514 days at Kemunting Prison @ Malaysian’s Guantanamo Bay.
The other ground of dismissal was that section 3 of the Courts Judicature Act did not permit appeals to the Court of Appeal.
The three UMNO Court of Appeal Judges therefore dismissed P. Uthayakumar and P. Waytha Moorthy’s appeal.
The DPP informed Manahoran Malayalam that he would be writing to the Klang Sessions Court for the Sedition Case to be reinstated after it was way back on 26/11/2007 dismissed as being groundless by the then Sessions Court Judge Zunaidah binti Mohd Idris.
For this “pro people power Hindraf” decision Zunaidah paid very dearly. She was immediately removed as Sessions Court Judge and transferred to the Attorney General’s Chambers under “cold storage” until a few weeks later she was prosecuted for some unheard of “criminal offence”. We now hear that Zunaidah was “forced” to plead guilty and removed as a Judge for good lost all her pensions and entitlements etc just because she had dispensed justice to the Hindraf lawyers without fear or fewer.
Justice must not only be done but must manifestly and undoubtly be seen to be done.
Especially in One Malay-sia
Lawyer Manoharan told the Press later that an appeal would be filed to the Federal Court as a part of the Hindraf struggle.
