KUALA LUMPUR: Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali today filed a request for documents related to the termination of his service as Attorney General (AG) in a 2.2 million lawsuit against former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Malaysian government.
Lawyer Datuk Baljit Singh Sidhu, who represented Mohamed Apandi, told reporters this after online case management (electronic review) before the Deputy Registrar of High Court Norhatini Abd Hamid, who set January 12 next year for increased case management.
In the request, Mohamed Apandi as a plaintiff, among others, requested a court order that would allow him to freely inspect and receive a copy of the documents or letters on the termination of his service.
He said the documents were in the possession, custody or possession of both defendants and should be given to the plaintiff to prove his claim.
Baljit said that the request will be sent to the Chambers of the Attorney General as soon as possible.
On October 13, Mohamed Apandi filed a lawsuit naming Dr. Mahathir and the government, respectively, as the first and second defendants, seeking, among other things, a statement that his removal from office as attorney general by the former first minister was illegal.
In his complaint brief, Mohamed Apandi, who was a Federal Court judge before being appointed Attorney General in 2015, also requests a statement that the first defendant had committed crimes and misconduct in public office and a statement that the first defendant had caused and induced the breach of contract between him and the government.
You also want a statement that there was a breach of Article 145 of the Federal Constitution on your termination and a statement that your termination as AG was not in accordance with the law and therefore illegal.
Mohamed Apandi requests special damages in the amount of 2,233,599.36 ringgit, general damages, exemplary and / or punitive damages, costs and other reparations that the court deems appropriate.
In a defense statement filed on November 12, both defendants stated that there was no abuse of power by the first defendant, Dr. Mahathir, with respect to the termination of Mohamed Apandi as AG and the termination of his contract as legal officer. -Called
