Lawyer Sangeet Kaur Deo, who is Karpal’s daughter, said the main reason to proceed with the appeal was to clear Karpal’s name. ― Picture by Yusof Mat Isa
“He allegedly made the seditious statement in 2009, 10 years . It’s been a long time so we are hoping to get on with it,” she told reporters when met here at the Palace of Justice. Karpal died almost two months later on April 17 in a car accident on the North-South expressway near Gua Tempurung, Perak.
Sangeet said the Federal Court today heard two applications from Gurmit that were filed last week, in relation to Court of Appeal judge Datuk Hamid Sultan Abu Backer’s recent court affidavit. Sangeet said the Federal Court, however, decided against allowing the affidavit to be part of the appeal.
