The High Court has scheduled a case management hearing for June 14 as the Attorney General pursues its legal challenge against the DNAA decision affecting Zahid Hamidi, according to court records. The DNAA was previously granted in Zahid's case, effectively halting criminal proceedings against him without a formal acquittal. The timing comes after the Attorney General's office secured the necessary permission from the Federal Court to proceed with the appeal on October 8 of last year. The June date represents a significant procedural milestone in what has become a closely watched legal matter. The case management hearing will allow both parties to present their positions before the court determines the next steps in the appeal process.
