First drafted Thu. 30 April 2015
PENAMPANG. The native court here led by District Chief Bryan
Matasing postponed the hearing to 26 May 2015 because after the third call at 9:30
am the two defendants have failed to appear.
The case was filed by a man from Kg Divato Ramaya whose
daughter has married her lover without going through their own native “adat”. He informed the court that he
himself delivered the court summon to her daughter’s husband but did not manage
to meet him and get his signature but handed the letter to his sister. Hence
the court deemed the summons have not been properly served.
However, after the hearing was adjourned and the judges have
left the courtroom, both defendants appeared outside the courtroom at 9:50 am
with reasons for their tardiness unknown.
Another case in the previous day was also postponed due
to the defendant writing to the court claiming of being sick.
