PKR and Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who was back in the Sessions Court today over the sodomy charge levelled against him by a former aide, Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan will know in two weeks whether the case will be transfered to a higher court.
Sessions judge SM Komathy Suppiah set October 7 for her decision after hearing arguments this morning from both the prosecution and the defence counsel on whether the case should be transferred to the High Court.

The prosecution had earlier sought permission for the matter to be transferred to the High Court.
However, the defence team objected to the transfer notice as it was signed by Attorney-General (AG) Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail. Their objection was on the basis that the AG should not have played any role in this case as he was being investigated following a complaint that the had tampered with evidence in Datuk Seri Anwar's cases 10 years ago.
