The Sessions Court in Kuala Lumpur rejected an application for a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) brought by Abu Sahid's lawyer, Datuk Jasbeer Singh. Jasbeer argued that the prosecution had yet to deliver several key documents despite multiple court mentions. The prosecution agreed to provide an additional five volumes of documents, but some material remains pending. The court ruled that DNAA was not applicable and directed that the next mention would fix a trial date, with the prosecution required to prepare a list of witnesses and submit any remaining documents by November 20. Abu Sahid stands accused of 17 charges, including CBT and money laundering linked to the MEX II Highway project, while his wife faces charges of receiving proceeds of unlawful activities.",
