The Shah Alam Syariah High Court today fixed July 1 for case management of Kinabatangan member of parliament Bung Moktar Radin's appeal against his one-month jail term for committing polygamy without the court's consent.

Syariah High Court chief registrar Zainor Rashid Hassin set the date following an application by Bung Moktar's lawyer, Amli Embong, to prepare his submission.

NONE Bung Moktar, 51, was accused of committing the offence with actress Zizie Izette Abdul Samad , 31, at house No 12, Jalan TC2B/3 Cemerlang Heights, Taman Melati, Gombak at 8.50pm on Dec 16, last year.

He was charged under Section 124 of the Islamic Family Law Enactment (State of Selangor) 2003 which provides for a fine of not more than RM1,000 or a jail term of not more than six months or both.

On May 19, the Gombak Timur Syariah Lower Court sentenced Bung Mokhtar to a month's jail for committing polygamy without consent.

He was also fined RM1,000 or one month's jail for abetting Zizie in marrying her without consent of the Registrar of Marriage, Divorce and Reconciliation at the same place, time and date.

On May 25, Bung Moktar filed an appeal against the jail sentence.
