PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has fixed March 23 for the prosecution to raise a preliminary objection in the case of a 57-year-old former police officer who was sentenced to a total of 100 years in jail and 15 strokes of the cane for raping and sodomising a 13-year-old girl.

Justice Mohd Zawawi Salleh set the date Tuesday after DPP Hamdan Hamzah told the court that he would like to raise the objection because the defence had not filed a petition of appeal.
