A judicial review application has been filed to challenge the request by the Attorney-General's Chambers to re-open and introduce a new witness in the P Karuna Nithi death inquest, despite the coroner's verdict that the police are liable.

The application was filed by Karuna's brother, Elam Sezhian, on Aug 27 at the High Court in Seremban, with case management on the matter fixed for Sept 18.
