When A Santamil Selvi filed the RM1.9 million suit in June this year over the exile to India of her late private investigator husband P Balasubramaniam, herself and their three children, she was hoping for justice.

The five-year exile from July 2008 till 2013, followed Balasubramaniam's first statutory declaration on July 3, 2008, that implicated Najib Abdul Razak with Mongolian translator Altantuya Shaariibuu, who was subsequently found dead.
