The High Court has dismissed a civil suit against the Attorney-General, a deputy attorney- general and five prosecutors by a Malaysian drug runner who was spared the death penalty last year.
Justice Chua Lee Ming granted the defendants application to strike out Gobi Avedian s suit last Thursday, saying his claim was unsustainable.
The defendants are the office of the Attorney-General, current Attorney-General Lucien Wong, deputy attorney-general Hri Kumar Nair, deputy chief prosecutor Mohamed Faizal Mohamed Abdul Kadir, and prosecutors Tan Zhongshan, Nicholas Wuan, Chin Jincheng and Chong Kee En.
Gobi, through his then lawyer M. Ravi, had sued the defendants and deputy attorney-general Lionel Yee in November last year. The suit against Mr Yee was later dropped.
