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.
Naidu's lawyer, Jon Apted says he will have to take instructions in the matter from his client however High Court Judge, Justice Jude Nanayakkara says he has only two options which are either to give his plea through an affidavit or orally.
Apted also told the court that they reserve the right to once again appeal against the stay ruling and cross-examine the Attorney-General, Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.
The Attorney-General’s lawyer, Devanesh Sharma says a plea should be taken.
