PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court sentenced lawyer Arunachalam Kasi, better known as Arun Kasi, to 30 days’ jail and fined him RM40,000 after finding him guilty of contempt of court over his two statements criticising the proceedings and decision of a court case.
Justice Tan Sri Ramly Ali, who led a five-member panel, held that Arun Kasi’s contemptuous statements against the Federal Court were serious and tarnished the good name of the judiciary, undermined public confidence in the judiciary, and ridiculed, scandalised and offended the dignity, integrity and impartiality of the court.
