The Star
Lawyer Harjinder Singh Sandhu, who represented Nurin’s father, however, objected to the bid for costs.
Approached by The Star, Harjinder said the judge would now proceed to hear the suit proper.
For a start, he said, it would hear an application by the girl’s father on Jan 29 to include the name of a policeman in his suit for allegedly causing his daughter’s post-mortem photographs to be circulated online.
Jazimin Abdul Jalil, 36, had on Dec 1 last year filed a summons in chambers to name L/Kpl Amran Arifin as the fifth defendant in his suit.
In the suit on Aug 21, 2008, the father of three girls had named the Inspector-General of Police, the Selangor police chief, Petaling Jaya district police chief and the Government as defendants.
The defendants maintained that they should not be held responsible for the conduct of a policeman who did not dispose of a draft containing the photographs as istructed by his superior.
Nurin, eight, went missing on Aug 20, 2007 at a night market near her home in Wangsa Maju. Her naked body was found stuffed in a sports bag and left near the staircase of a shoplot in Petaling Utama on Sept 17, 2007.
