Justice Datuk Kamardin Hashim, who chaired a three-member bench, said the prosecution's appeal against wheelchair-bound Siti Nor Hakiki Abdullah's acquittal without her defence being called at the end of the prosecution's case did not have merits.On Jan 5 last year, the Sessions Court discharged and acquitted Siti Nor Hakiki on the charges without ordering her to make her defence.

After the court pronounced the decision, Siti Nor Hakiki cried and embraced her husband who was sitting on the bench behind her. According to the charges, she was alleged to have knowingly submitted the false claims to the administrative officer of the department, Siti Kartika Sari Mohamad Salleh, for medication such as Pregbalin 150mg and Oxynorm 5mg, Celecoxib 500mg and Lyrica 150mg, purportedly bought from a pharmacy in Bangsar.
