KUALA LUMPUR, May 17 (Bernama) -- The High Court here today fixed June 19 to

hear an application by Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to strike out

Malaysian Indian United Party (MUIP) president Datuk S.Nallakaruppan''s defence

in a libel suit filed by the opposition leader in 2008.

Deputy Registrar Fatimah Rubi''ah Ali set the date in chambers in the

presence of lawyers Latheefa Koya, representing Anwar, and Nurul Nabila Zamri,

who appeared on behalf of Nallakaruppan''s lawyer, Datuk Seri Datuk Seri Muhammad

Shafee Abdullah.

Latheefa told reporters that the June 19 hearing would be held before Judge

Datuk Su Geok Yiam.

She said Anwar filed to strike Nallakaruppan''s defence on grounds that it

was petty, a mere denial and an abuse of the court process.

Anwar filed the suit on Aug 25, 2008 over an alleged derogatory remarks by

Nallakaruppan in an article, "Anwar terima RM60 juta" (Anwar receives RM60

million) which were published in the Mingguan Malaysia and Sinar Harian

newspapers in Aug 2008.

In his defence, Nallakaruppan said there was no malicious intent and made

under qualified privilege.
