Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s defence for his Sodomy II trial was dealt a blow today, when the Federal Court rejected his bid to obtain further evidence from the prosecution.
The court said Anwar’s appeal was not in accordance with Section 51 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) and that the defence’s reasoning to compel extra evidence for early preparation was legally flawed.
The panel of three judges also said that Section 51 (A) of the CPC provides the court with discretionary powers to allow or disallow the prosecution from supplying the defence with evidence.
