KUALA LUMPUR,  Sept 30<\/strong> —  A former research assistant to Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Muhammed Yusoff Rawther has appealed against a High Court\u2018s decision which dismissed his application to cancel several paragraphs in the PKR president’s statement of defence and counterclaim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawyer Mahajoth Singh, representing Muhammed Yusoff, said the appeal was filed at the Court of Appeal on September 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The matter is set for online case management on Dec 27,”<\/em> he said when contacted by Bernama today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Muhammed Yusoff filed the notice of appeal over a decision by Judicial Commissioner Dr John Lee Kien How @ Mohd Johan Lee, made last Sept 9,  in dismissing his application to cancel several paragraphs in Anwar\u2019s statement of defence and counterclaim.<\/p>\n\n\n

It was in relation to a lawsuit he filed against Anwar on July 14, 2021, regarding allegations of sexual assault by the politician four years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his statement of claim, Muhammed Yusoff alleged that the sexual assault took place on Oct 2, 2018, at Anwar\u2019s residence in Segambut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Muhammed Yusoff claimed that as a result of the incident, he was accused of plotting to bring down Anwar and damage his political career, and this affected his health mentally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is seeking special, general, aggravated and exemplary damages, as well as interest, costs and other relief deem fit by the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anwar then filed a counter-suit over Muhammed Yusoff\u2019s suit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
