Lawyer files judicial review for wrongful arrest


KUALA LUMPUR: Lawyer Rosli Dahlan has filed a judicial review against the police, the Immigration Department and the government for wrongfully arresting and detaining him in October last year.

He filed the application at the High Court here on Dec 29 through Messrs Vin Law Co, naming Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain @ Abd Rasid, Commercial Crime Investigation Department director Datuk Seri Ramli Mohamed Yoosuf, and police money laundering unit head Datuk Muhammad Hasbullah Ali as the first to third respondents.

He also named assistant director of the Anti-Money Laundering Criminal Investigation Division Asst Comm Foo Wei Min, investigating officer Supt Mohd Faizal Mohd Atan, Immigration director-general Datuk Seri Khairul Dzaimee Daud, the police force, the Immigration Department and the government as the fourth to ninth respondents.

The application has been set for case management before Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid on Feb 19, Bernama reported.

Rosli, in his application, is seeking an order to quash the decision or action of the first to fifth respondents who allegedly abused their power against the applicant by linking him to a police report by AirAsia against i-Serve Technology and Vacations Sdn Bhd, which had nothing to do with him.

He is also seeking a declaration that the actions of the first to fifth respondents, which led to his arrest, detention and remand on Oct 26 last year, as well as the freezing of his bank accounts, were unlawful and violated fundamental rights under the Federal Constitution.

Finally, he is asking the court to compel the authorities to revoke the travel ban order imposed against him.
