Kuala Lumpur: The High Court here ordered that a full trial be held on the defamation suit filed by kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi against the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and three others over the authorities’ alleged failure to arrest her ex-husband and return her daughter who was abducted by him.
This follows the decision by Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali which dismissed an application by the IGP, Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM), Home Ministry, and the government to strike out Indira’s suit.
In his judgment, Justice Mohd Nazlan said he found that the suit filed by the plaintiff (Indira Gandhi) for declaration and damages against the first defendant (IGP) for the tort of nonfeasance in public office and against the other defendants for being vicariously liable in respect of the enforcement of the committal order could not be said to be vexatious, frivolous or an abuse of the court process.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and three others have filed to strike out a lawsuit by kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi (pic) who sued them over her missing child.
Indira’s lawyer Rajesh Nagarajan said the defendants - the IGP, the Royal Malaysia Police, Home Ministry and government - filed the striking out application on Thursday (Jan 14).
The court was informed of the matter when it was brought up during case management via e-Review before High Court deputy registrar Idamasliza Maarof.
“The court had then ordered the plaintiff (Indira) to file her affidavit in reply by Jan 29 and for the first defendant (IGP) to file his by Feb 2, ” he said when contacted.
