		Karpal said Arifin erred when he dismissed the defence application for a 12-day postponement to prepare a fresh notice of alibi after the prosecution amended the date of the alleged offence from "May 1994" to "between January and March 1993".
		Karpal also argued that the provision of the alibi notice under section 402(A) of the Criminal Procedure Code is one that the court has no discretion to waive.
		Karpal also said Ariffin had failed to ensure justice and a fair trial to Anwar when he dismissed the defence application for the judge to disqualify himself on the ground that he was a business associate of Mirzan Mahathir, the prime minister’s son.

		Karpal said the prosecution’s case is weak as it was saddled on the evidence of its star witness Azizan.
