Mohamed Apandi files application seeking documents over termination as AG

KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali today filed an application to obtain documents related to the termination of his service as Attorney-General (AG) in a RM2.2 million lawsuit against former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Malaysian government.

Lawyer Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu, who represented Mohamed Apandi, told reporters this after the online case management (e-review) before High Court deputy registrar Norhatini Abd Hamid who set Jan 12 next year for further case management.

In the application, Mohamed Apandi as the plaintiff, among others, applied for a court order to allow him to freely inspect and be provided with a copy of documents or letters regarding the termination of his service.

He said the documents were in the possession, custody or within the power of both defendants and it should be given to the plaintiff to prove his lawsuit.

Baljit said that the application will be submitted to the AG’s Chambers as soon as possible.
