KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court yesterday postponed the hearing of air force Sgt N. Tharmendran's habeas corpus application for his release from detention by the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).
Deputy registrar Rusita Md Lazim fixed Jan 17 for hearing.
His counsel, Amer Hamzah Arshad, told reporters the application, which was initially set for hearing yesterday, had to be postponed as his client needed time to reply to an affidavit by Batu Cantonment army camp detention centre commandant Lt-Col Mohd Razif Ramli.
"The respondent filed the affidavit last Thursday."
Tharmendran, 42, was arrested by army officers outside the Shah Alam court complex on a charge of being absent without official leave.
