SHAH ALAM: The High Court here set Dec 8 for case management of an appeal by the former husband of a popular singer Ziana Zain against his conviction and eight months jail sentence for caning his son two years ago.
Lawyer Amir Farid Mohd Nawawi, representing Armin Zaharin Ahmad Zambri, said the matter was earlier fixed for today, but had to be postponed due to the implementation of the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) in the peninsula, except in Perlis, Kelantan and Pahang, since Nov 9 until Dec 6.
âWe received an email from the High Court senior assistant registrar Nur Azizah Jaafar yesterday informing that the case management has been set to Dec 8.
âThe court has also given instruction on the time for the appellant to file the appeal petition,â he said through Whatsapp today.
Armin Zaharin, 55, was appealing against the conviction and sentence meted out by Magistrate Sabreena Bakar @ Bahari last Sept 28.
She meted out the sentence after finding Armin Zaharin guilty of intentionally causing injuries and bruises on the hands of his nine-year-old son using a cane at a house in Denai Alam, Shah Alam between 8 pm and 10.30 pm on Feb 24, 2018.
The former chief steward was charged under Section 323 of the Penal Code which provides for a maximum jail term of one year or a fine of RM2,000 or both, if convicted. â Bernama
