SHAH
ALAM: The High Court yesterday stayed the proceedings in the Banting
murder trial to a date to be fixed following an order from the Court of
Appeal.
On
Thursday, the Court of Appeal had granted the stay pending an appeal by
the defence team against judge Datuk Akhtar Tahir's decision on Monday
dismissing their application to call three deputy public prosecutors to
the witness stand.
The
defence had applied to call deputy public prosecutors Ishak Mohd
Yusoff, Saiful Edris Zainudin and Idham Abd Ghani as witnesses in their
bid to challenge two documents which the DPPs had tendered in court.
The documents were the notes of proceedings of two others who were found guilty of disposing evidence in the Banting murders.
A.K. Sarawanan and U. Suresh were charged with disposing of evidence at the Telok Datok magistrate's court in October 2010.
They are currently serving a 20-year jail sentence each.
