KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will be filing an application Thursday for High Court judge Justice Mohd Zabidin Mohd Diah to recuse himself from hearing the Opposition leader's ongoing sodomy trial, after claiming that the judge had "pre-judged his case".When contacted Wednesday, Anwar's lawyer Sankara Nair said Anwar would be filing the application at the court complex here at 10am.
"The judge had pre-judged the case at the prosecution's case.
"He was biased and went beyond prima facie stage, which is not in accordance with the law," Sankara said.
He added there was a delay in filing the motion as the defence team had only received the certified true copy of the judge's written judgment on Tuesday.
This is the third time Anwar is applying to disqualify the judge in his trial.
Sankara also said that until Wednesday, the defence team had only been supplied five witnesses for interview by the police and prosecution, when they had requested for 25 names since May 16.
"Important witnesses like Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib (Tun Razak), (his wife) Datin Seri Rosmah (Mansor) and (former Inspector-General of Police) Tan Sri Musa Hassan have not yet been supplied to us to be interviewed.
"The police say they have not managed to arrange it yet," he said.
On Aug 7, 2008, Anwar claimed trial to performing carnal intercourse against the order of nature on Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan at a condominium unit in Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur, between 3.01pm and 4.30pm on June 26, 2008.
He is charged under Section 377B of the Penal Code and faces up to 20 years jail and whipping.
On May 16, Anwar was ordered by the High Court to enter his defence, which has been scheduled to begin from June 6.
tunku : third time ? it's so clear that the sodomizer is just buying some time.all he want is to delay the court case till the election comes. the court should not accept his application at all.this is too much.why must the court give him so much of special privileges. enough is enough.

ternyata anwar ni memang kaki temberang.
In Islam the Judges are appointed by the Government. But once they occupy the Bench they must carry out their duties impartially and make and deliver their judgement in written form and sign it.
DAH SAH, TERANG DAN NYATA BAHAWA ANWAR BERSALAH BEYOND REASIONABLE DOUBT. AS CLEAR AS THE BLUE SKY, ANWAR IS GUILTY AS CHARGED. AIR MANI DALAM JUBUR SAIFUL ADALAH AIR MANI ANWAR BIN IBRAHIM YANG TELAH DISAHKAN OLEH PAKAR.
MENGAKU SAHAJALAH ANWAR. KAN SENANG. DUIT RAKYAT DAPAT DISELAMATKAN. BERIHATLAH DI SUNGAI BULUH DAN BERTAUBAT. KASIHANI ISTERI DAN ANAK2 YANG TERPAKSA MENANGGUNG MALU YANG AMAT SANGAT KERANA MEMENUHI CITA2 KAMU NAK JADI PM SEDANGKAN KAMU TAK LAYAK LANGSUNG DISEBABKAN MORAL KAMU YANG TERUK SANGAT TU. LUPAKANLAH CITA2 KAMU NAK JADI PM TU. KESALAHAN YANG KAMU TELAH LAKUKAN AMAT JIJIK SEKALI. KESALAHAN YANG NABI PUN TAK MENGAKU UMMAT.
CUKUPLAH MENIPU PENYOKONG2 KAMU DAN RAKYAT NEGARA INI.
Dah Lama Kenal Anwar.
Kerajaan tak patut melayan lagi permintaan Anwar. Teruskan saja perbicaraan membela diri pada 6hb Jun 2011 nanti. Kalau dapat yakinkan hakim mahkamah bahawa kamu dipihak yang benar, kamu akan dibebaskan dan boleh jadi Perdana Menteri Malaysia ke 7. Biar lingkup negara ini.
