Don’t comment on ongoing cases, CJ reminds lawyers in Kelantan syariah case

PUTRAJAYA: Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat has reminded parties involved in a constitutional challenge to a Kelantan syariah criminal enactment not to comment on the case while it is ongoing.

Tengku Maimun said it would be inappropriate for lawyers to speak about ongoing cases because, as members of the Bar Council, they are bound by existing practices and etiquette rules and they should not incite the public.
