KUALA LUMPUR: The Sessions Court has allowed two legal firm clerks to be tried together on eight counts of cheating and three counts of attempting to cheat involving RM1.7mil.

D. Balakrishnan and R. Ramasamy, both 36, had previously pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Deputy public prosecutor Harris Ong Mohd Jeffery Ong had made the oral application before Judge Rozana Ali Yusoff. Ramasamy’s lawyer V. Ravichandran did not object.

Balakrishnan and Ramasamy were alleged to have jointly cheated People’s Insurance Co (M) Sdn Bhd into believing that all information and documents in suits by several plaintiffs against the company were true, when they were in fact not.

They had allegedly committed the offence between November 1990 and November 2001 in Medan Tunku here.

Harris Ong had also applied for a later date to be set for a re-mention as he said he needed to look at the investigation papers again.

Ravichandran added that the defence counsels had only so far received the charge sheet.

Rozana then set Feb 12 for re-mention and said she hoped the relevant documents would be prepared by then.
