KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 21 — The Magistrate’s Court has fixed March 20 to find out the status of a representation by a policewoman known as ‘Inspector Sheila’ to strike out a charge made against her for causing a public nuisance.
Lawyer M. Manoharan, representing the policewoman, whose full name is Sheila Sharon Steven Kumar, 36, said the representation to the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) was filed yesterday on the grounds that the charge was frivolous.
The prosecution informed they need three weeks to study the 200-page representation, said the lawyer to the press after the case came up for mention before Magistrate Illi Marisqa Khalizan.
On November 8 last year, Sheila pleaded not guilty to causing a public nuisance by scolding, shouting, and honking her car at a woman in a shopping mall parking lot.
The offence was allegedly committed at Nuraihan Nadzirah Ibrahim, 27, at the parking lot of a shopping centre in Brickfields at 5.26pm on June 16, 2023.
The charge, framed under Section 268 of the Penal Code, provides a maximum fine of RM400 upon conviction.
