LIVE REPORTS
12:25pm: Ram Karpal says there was a "Male Y" in the samples found and this was further linked to the DNA samples retrieved from Anwar's cell.
He says the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that "Male Y" is the appellant.
12.15pm: Sangeet submits there were a series of documents which were not provided to the defence.
She says there is no basis for the judge to dismiss the defence’s application to get the documents.
"This is to ensure there is equal footing and no trial by ambush," she adds.
In the early stages of the trial, Justice Zabidin did not allow the prosecution to provide the documents.
Sangeet argues there was no fair trial and the arrest was made unlawfully.
"There is a culmination of incidents that display the abuse and conspiracy against Anwar," she argues.
Now Ram Karpal begins his submission on DNA.
12.02pm: Sangeet says the original warrant of arrest tendered during the main trial was unlawful.
"The warrant was only issued at the balai (police station). The judge was wrong in ruling to accept these evidence during the main trial based on the same document (i.e. the original warrant of arrest).
"Hence the retrieval of those (three) items should also be considered illegal."
