Charge a man for theft of a chicken, evidence is theft of a duck: Karpal

Karpal Singh: "You charge a man for the theft of a chicken and the evidence is theft of a duck"

The Federal Court departed from normal practise today and accepted a two-page "broad reasons" decision of the Court of Appeal to hear Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim's appeal against the lower court's dismissal of his plea for the witness statement of Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan.

Normally, the nation's highest court would rely on the detailed grounds of judgment before deciding to hear an appeal.

However, in an unusual development, the Federal Court agreed to accept the two-page decision titled "broad reasons", handed down by a three-member bench of the Court of Appeal on June 25, as the basis for the grounds of the lower court's decision in rejecting Anwar's appeal.
