Judge recuses himself from hearing Anwar’s appeal

PUTRAJAYA: A Court of Appeal judge has recused himself from hearing an appeal brought by Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim over his civil suit to invalidate his conviction for sodomy.

Justice Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said said he decided to recuse himself from hearing the case, which involved the sodomisation of Anwar’s former aide Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan, as he handled several other cases involving Anwar when he was with the Attorney General’s Chambers.
