THE Raub Sessions Court today dismissed an application for a gag order by the prosecution against former Khazanah Alam Malaysia president Shariffa Sabrina Syed Akil to prevent her from making any statement on her state land encroachment case to the media or social media.
Judge Ahmad Faizadh Yahaya made the decision after finding that the application filed by the public prosecutor from the Pahang state enforcement unit, Izzat Ikhwan Abu Bakar, last April 13, having failed to meet the conditions for such an application.
The application was filed after Shariffa Sabrina was charged in the same court with encroaching on state land at three plots in the Bentong, Ulu Dong and Terap subdistricts on June 10 and 11 last year.
In his judgment, Faizadh said it is the duty of the judge hearing the case to consider evidence adduced in court only and to ignore irrelevant matters, while the decision could still be appealed to a higher level if a judge had erred.
In dismissing the application for the gag order, it would not result in a denial of the right to a fair trial and instead would give the applicant an opportunity to tell his story and thus create a balanced narrative in the matter, he said.
Apart from that, he said, the applicant still had a way out according to the defamation law and could even initiate committal proceedings for contempt of court if any party violated the rule of sub judice.
