KUALA LUMPUR: Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng will submit an application to set aside the leave obtained by the Attorney-General (AG) to initiate committal proceeding against him.
Lawyer Gobind Singh Deo, representing Lim, told this to reporters when met after the matter came up for case management before High Court (Appellate and Special Powers Division) judge Datuk Hanipah Farikullah.
Proceedings held in chambers today was also attended by lawyer Tommy Thomas, also representing Lim, and senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan, representing Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali.
Gobind said he would also submit an application for the court to strike out the originating summons filed by the AG, and also for time to transcribe three digital video discs (DVD) on Lim's press conference.
It was during the press conference that Lim was alleged to have said that that his criminal charges, over a bungalow purchase, were politically motivated.
Last Sept 21, the court granted leave for the AG to initiate committal proceeding against Lim. — Bernama
