The Federal Court has fixed May 30 to hear the leave application sought by controversial carpet businessman Deepak Jaikishan against a Court of Appeal order that he goes on trial in the High Court in Kuala Lumpur on the suit filed by the widow of P Balasubramaniam, A Santamil Selvi.

The apex court fixed the same date to hear Selvi's leave application on the Court of Appeal decision to strike out a consent judgment reached against Deepak.

The dates were fixed by Federal Court judge Azahar Mohamed.
