Suva High Court Judge Jude Nanayakkara will deliver his ruling today in the matter where Richard Naidu's lawyer has made an application to cross-examine Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum during the substantial hearing in Naidu's committal proceedings case.

Naidu allegedly posted on his Facebook page a picture of a judgement in a case represented by his associate that had the word 'injunction' misspelt, and then made some comments that he was pretty sure the applicant wanted an injunction.

The committal proceedings has been brought against Naidu by the Attorney General.

While making submissions, Naidu's lawyer, Jon Apted says Sayed-Khaiyum's evidence cannot be relied upon if the respondent has not been allowed to challenge it.

Meanwhile, the hearing on the committal proceedings will take place on the 10th and 11th of November.
