PUTRAJAYA, Nov 4 — The Court of Appeal was told today that the prosecution has yet to physically serve a notice of appeal on Muhammed Yusoff Rawther, a former research assistant to a politician, who is currently in the United Kingdom (UK).
Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) How May Ling told a three-member panel that authorities in the UK and Ireland had failed to locate Muhammed Yusoff or serve the notice on him, despite assistance being sought from Interpol.
“The prosecution was informed last month that efforts to locate the respondent (Muhammed Yusoff) had been unsuccessful. The authorities also had no information regarding his asylum application,” she said during case management before Justices Datuk Azman Abdullah, Datuk Hayatul Akmal Abdul Aziz and K. Muniandy.
