Warrant of Arrest for Defendant who failed to appear in court three times.

 FIRST DRAFTED THU, 4 JUN 2015

PENAMPANG. The Native Court here will issue a warrant of arrest of a self employed from Kg Bidangbidang Babagon for failing to appear in court after being summoned three times.

 

District Chief Bryan Matasing, leading the panel of judges said in court that this will be done if the defendant has no reasonable excuse for his absence which is deemed contempt of court.

 

Court document shows that a third summon had been delivered through the village chief and the defendant had signed acknowledging receipt.

 

According to the plaintiff, the man from Kg Bidangbidang had allegedly sold him a plot of land of which he was paid RM6000. However no such plot existed and he refunded only RM1500.

Hence the plaintiff came to court seeking for the refund of the remaining sum owed to him.

 

The hearing was then adjourned to a later date after the missing defendant has been dealt with.
