The father of lawyer Arun Kasi, who is engaged in contempt proceedings with attorney-general Tommy Thomas, has vowed to fast in front of the Parliament until"justice" prevails for his son.
Thomas initiated the contempt proceedings after Arun remarked on the Federal Court's decision to expunge a dissenting judgment by Court of Appeal judge Hamid Sultan Abu Backer in the case of Leap Modulation Sdn Bhd vs PCP Construction Sdn Bhd. "Hardly any counsel will accept the brief and be properly able to argue in the short intervals within which the AG secured the hearing dates, more so this case being before the highest court at the first instance.""Even a murderer, robber or rapist will be given fair opportunity to defend, and reasonable time for his counsel to prepare, but the attorney-general did not allow that to my son," he alleged.
Kasi then pointed to the court's refusal to provide the recorded transcript of the proceedings, so that he can apply for a review of the interlocutory decisions.
