LSN Malaysia ·

The Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) has decided to pursue legal recourse following the acquittal of prominent preacher Syed Da'i, announcing plans to file a review application to challenge the court's decision.
The application will be lodged in accordance with Rule 105 of the Court of Appeal Rules 1994, which allows for review of appellate decisions under specific circumstances. This procedural avenue is typically pursued when there are grounds to believe a material error has occurred in the judicial determination.
The move represents the AGC's formal challenge to the acquittal and signals the continuation of legal proceedings in the case. The decision to pursue the review application underscores the significance of the matter and the prosecution's view that grounds exist for reconsideration of the court's ruling.
The filing of the application will now enter a new phase of legal proceedings, with the court determining whether to grant or dismiss the AGC's request for review based on the merits of the arguments presented.
