PUTRAJAYA: Lawyer Datuk Muhammad Shafee Abdullah is facing the prospect of being sent to jail for contempt of court for sending a complaint letter alleging misconduct by Justice Gopal Sri Ram. 

Muhammad Shafee, the counsel for highway concessionaire Metramac Corporation Sdn Bhd, was reprimanded earlier by the Court of Appeal judge, who said the letter was contemptuous and an attempt at muzzling a judge.
