"Defendan diperintahkan untuk menerbitkan notis permohonan maaf kepada plaintif dengan kandungannya dipersetujui dan disahkan oleh plaintif sebelum ia diterbitkan.

"Perintah injunksi larangan juga dikeluarkan terhadap defendan supaya tidak mengulangi kesalahan itu," katanya dalam satu kenyataan.

Beliau berkata, defendan juga dikehendaki membayar kos perbicaraan sebanyak RM25,000 kepada Muhammad Yusoff.

Prosiding itu turut disertai peguam, Muhammad Azwar Ab Manab yang mewakili Tunku Nashrul.
