Defence lawyer Devanesh Sharma has no objections in having the interpretation of civil service and public service be dealt with in the High Court.
This is in the case of former prime minister Voreqe Bainimarama and former commissioner of police Sitiveni Qiliho and the constitutional issue relates to the particulars of Mr Qiliho’s charge.
The duo appeared this morning before Suva Magistrate Jeremaia Savou for pretrial conference.
Both parties in 14 days will confirm on whether the definition of civil servant and public servant will be challenged and dealt with in the High Court.
Appearing for the state is lawyer Pooja Mishra and Moira Konrote.
The case has been adjourned.
