Chief Justice requests DPP’s grounds for Top Cop rape charge

Acting Chief Justice Ian Chang yesterday instructed state prosecutor Naresh Harnanan to produce the statements used by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack to advise that a rape charge be instituted against Police Commissioner Henry Greene.

The request was made in the High Court as the proceedings began on the applications by Greene for the DPP’s advice to be quashed and to bar the police from instituting the charge against him. The court has granted temporary orders to Greene.
