This morning the Court of appeal at Putrajaya adjourned proceedings in P. Uthayakumar’s unlawful detention appeal as Judge Suriyadi Halim Omar had recused himself. This Judge had in 2004 dismissed the criminal intimidation charges as being groundless according to Section 173 (g) (of a policeman inside Court by P. Uthayakumar). The racist UMNO AG Gani Patail’s DPP Noorin Badaruddin objected to Judge Suriyadi hearing this Appeal by the A.G.
