PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court today sentenced Arunachalam Kasi, better known as Arun Kasi, to 30 days’ jail and RM40,000 fine after finding him guilty of writing two articles critical of a court judgment.
Ramly Ali, who chaired a five-member Federal Court bench, said the lawyer had not tendered an unreserved apology despite a specific query from the court.“It is clear to use that the authority of the law, as administered by the court, was flouted,” Ramly said, adding that as an officer of the court, Arun was expected to uphold the court’s dignity.
The others on the bench were Azahar Mohamed, Rohana Yusuf, Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Nallini Pathmanathan.
