Court defers Pua's bid to strike out Najib's defamation suit
ADS

Petaling Jaya Utara MP Tony Pua's application to strike out Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's defamation suit scheduled for hearing at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today has been deferred pending a Federal Court decision on whether a public servant can file such a suit.

The question of law on that issue will be heard by the apex court in the case between Pahang Menteri Besar Adnan Yaakob and Utusan Malaysia on Feb 13.

As such, Pua's lawyer Gobind Singh Deo said Judicial Commissioner Roslan A Bakar has scheduled a date for case management two days after the hearing at the Federal Court.
