The matter, which was initially fixed for hearing on Monday before Coroner Amir Shah Amir Hassan, also involves Che Muna Din, better known as Mona Din, who faces the same allegation.
The new date follows a request letter submitted by Shafie’s counsel on Nov 21, with both cases now set to be heard together.
According to the Attorney General’s Chambers, committal proceeding documents were served on Shafie in Tawau on Nov 3 and on Mona Din at her Shah Alam residence on Nov 1, following leave granted by the court on Oct 23.
Both respondents are required to respond to the statement and file supporting affidavits within 14 days under Rule 52 Order 3(2) of the Rules of Court 2012, after the Attorney General was allowed to initiate the proceedings last month.
