PUTRAJAYA: The case involving Road Transport Department (JPJ) Deputy Director-General Datuk Yusoff Ayob, who sent his special aide to plead guilty on his behalf at the Magistrate’s Court over a charge of driving in an emergency lane, has been remitted back to the court.

“The case has been sent back to the court. How can you plead guilty by way of representation?” said Chief Justice Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif yesterday.
