The candidate for the Sipitang parliamentary seat says the respondent had not asked for her petition to be struck out.
Noor Hayaty Mustapha says her lawyers were not asked if they were ready to proceed with the trial.
In a statement following the striking out of her petition by Kuching-based judge Azahari Kamal Ramli, Noor Hayaty said she was present when the proceedings took place. Noor Hayaty said that after returning from a break, the judge indicated that he was not agreeable to grant an adjournment and immediately proceeded to strike out the petition without asking if her solicitors were ready to proceed with the trial.
This was because her lawyers were only granted an order from the court to check Election Commission documents on April 2 and allowed to inspect copies of the documents from the EC just before 7pm on April 5.
