Court rejects actor’s application
PETALING JAYA: An application by actor and director Datuk Farid Kamil, 37, for the temporary return of his passport to travel abroad for work was rejected by the magistrate’s court here.
Magistrate Nor Ariffin Hisham rejected the application as the artiste had failed to submit relevant supporting documents.
Counsel Faizul Mohd Nasir, representing Farid, filed the application on the grounds that his client needed the passport to go abroad for filming.
Magistrate Salamiah Salleh set Nov 26 to 29 for remention of charges against Farid for lodging a false report against three co-actors.
The court rejected a representation to drop the case against him, which Faizul had sent on behalf of his client on May 7 to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
On Jan 16, Farid pleaded not guilty to four charges including voluntarily causing hurt to an account executive and a policeman.
On the first two charges, he allegedly assaulted Ashraf Ahmad, 35, and Constable Muhammad Nizam Jamaluddin, 24, at the Kota Damansara traffic police station information counter at 1.20pm on Jan 11.
On the third charge, Farid is accused of using criminal force to prevent Nizam from carrying out his duty as a public servant at the same place, time and date, while on the fourth charge, he is accused of disorderly conduct at the police station by hurling insults at Nizam.
