Former Ministry of the Presidency Permanent Secretary Omar Shariff and his wife, who are accused of failing to comply with a court order, were yesterday told that they would have to lead a defence to the charge against them.

Senior Magistrate Fabayo Azore made the announcement after overruling a no-case submission made by the defendants’ attorney, Sanjeev Datadin, yesterday.

The matter was subsequently adjourned until November 13th.
