The Court of Appeal said the decision to strike out the appeal was made since the prosecution did not file the required papers within the deadline to continue the trial and also due to its failure to file an application to extend the deadline, which was on July 6 this year. Justice Hadhariah said the prosecution team had had ample time to seek an extension of time to file the petition of appeal on at least three occasions, but failed to do so up until yesterday.
“According to the law, if the petition fails to be filed within the stipulated time and there is no request filed to extend the time, then the appeal is considered as lapsed and withdrawn . Deputy public prosecutor Datuk Yusaini Amer Abdul Karim said the prosecution needed time to do a proper study as it was a case of public interest.
“I feel we have been vindicated. It is time for me and my family to move on,” he said when met at the Palace of Justice.
