Lawyer RSN Rayer, who is representing E. Meeriam Rosaline, said High Court judge Datuk Ahmad Bache decided in chambers to postpone the inquiry hearing under Section 52 of the Mental Health Act 2001 in acknowledgement of her application filed December 13. “So we are directly affected by any order which we made by court so that is why she is here today to file an application to intervene as a party,” he told reporters outside the courtroom here.

Rayer added that while the court has not heard Meeriam's latest application, it still adjourned proceedings to another date after sealed copy of the application was served to both plaintiff and defendant yesterday.In his application, Vell Paari claimed that his family had observed a progressive cognitive deterioration in Samy Vellu, 82, since 2017 which had caused the latter difficulties in managing his personal affairs.
