PUTRAJAYA, Jan 11 — The Court of Appeal has set February 8 to decide whether the coroner who heard the inquest into fireman Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim’s death has the jurisdiction to issue leave to commence committal proceedings against former Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas.
Earlier, counsel Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla who acted for Muhammad Adib’s father, Mohd Kassim Abdul Hamid said Section 99A of the Subordinate Courts Act 1948 stated that the coroner or any subordinate court has the further power and jurisdiction to issue contempt without derogating from their original power conferred upon them.
Meanwhile, Datuk S. Ambiga representing Thomas said the Coroner’s Court had erred in allowing the bid for committal through an application. Today, the court heard the appeal brought by the Attorney General’s Chambers on whether the Coroner’s Court has the jurisdiction to hear and decide on committal proceedings.
