00:00The public prosecutor has no legal obligation to update a trial judge who granted an accused
00:08a discharge not amounting to an acquittal in a criminal case, says lawyer A. Srimurugan.
00:14Speaking to FMT, he said the public prosecutor, who is also the Attorney General, has discretion
00:20under the Federal Constitution and Criminal Procedure Code to decide whether to continue
00:25or drop a case.
00:27He was commenting on Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamadi's case, who was granted
00:31a D.N.A.A. on 47 charges of corruption, criminal breach of trust, and money laundering after
00:37four years of trial.
00:39Meanwhile, lawyer K. Ramu urged the AG to provide public updates on the Malaysian Anti-Corruption
00:45Commission investigation for transparency.
00:48Lawyer Salim Bashir suggested that Zahid should seek an acquittal for finality as leaving
00:53the case open indefinitely would be unjust.
00:56The AG holds the power to withdraw charges under Article 145, Sub 3 of the Federal Constitution
01:02and Section 254, Sub 1 of the CPC.
01:05Zahid's trial had already spanned 77 days with 114 witnesses before the D.N.A.A. was
01:11granted.
