The Federal Court has slapped lawyer Arun Kasi with a 30-day jail sentence after he was found to be in contempt of court over his statements pertaining to a court judgment.Arun was accused of making contemptuous statements online, in relation to 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.
“We have also considered the Bar's submission not to impose a custodial sentence. However, the gravity of the offence committed by Arun, coupled with his refusal to tender an unreserved apology, justifies this court taking a serious view of the matter. “In the circumstances, we are of the view that the appropriate sentence is a term of imprisonment of 30 days from today and a fine of RM40,000 in default 30 days' jail,” he said, according toThe panel, which also consisted of Federal Court judges Azahar Mohamed, Rohana Yusuf, Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Nallini Pathmanathan, had dismissed Arun's application for a stay of execution of the ruling.
