The Shah Alam High Court today heard the application of human rights lawyer P Uthayakumar to strike out two contempt and criminal charges against him and fixed April 8 to resume proceedings o­nce a certified court document is in hand.

Judge Suriyadi Halim Omar said it was important for him to first peruse the proceeding notes of a Sepang Magistrate's Court session o­n Sept 3 last year, in which Uthayakumar had allegedly shown contempt of court and intimidated a chief inspector during cross-examination.

Both the prosecution and counsel had produced the notes but the document was not a certified true copy.
