2012: High Court: Justice Mohamad Zabidin
Jan 9 : The High Court acquitted and discharged Anwar of sodomising Mohd Saiful. In the 80-page written judgment, Justice Mohamad Zabidin reveals there was penile penetration but it was uncorroborated by other evidence.
He said the court could not be 100 per cent certain on the integrity of samples taken for DNA testing from Mohd Saiful as the samples could have been compromised before they reached the chemistry department for analysis.
2014: Court of Appeal: 3- men Panel headed by Justice Datuk Balia Yusof Wahi, with Datuk Aziah Ali and Datuk Mohd Zawawi Salleh.
'March 6 and 7 : The Court of Appeal heard submissions from Muhammad Shafee and lawyer Karpal Singh.
March 7 : Anwar was sentenced to five years' jail by the Court of Appeal after the court found him guilty of sodomising Mohd Saiful, six years ago.
Justice Datuk Balia Yusof Wahi, who led a three-man panel in hearing the prosecution's appeal in the case, however, granted Anwar's application for a stay of the sentence, pending appeal with bail of RM10,000 in one surety.
In overturning the High Court's decision in acquitting Anwar, Balia said the panel unanimously held that the trial judge had erred in his findings that the integrity of DNA samples used in the case had been compromised.
Karpal Singh, speaking to reporters later, said that with this ruling, Anwar could not file his nomination papers for the Kajang state seat by-election on March 10.'
'April 24 : The opposition leader filed a petition of appeal against his five-year jail sentence for sodomy at the Federal Court Registrar's Office, citing 35 grounds why his conviction and sentence should be set aside.'
'The Court of Appeal has allowed lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to represent the prosecution in its appeal against Anwar Ibrahim’s acquittal of a second sodomy charge.
Justice Ramly Ali who is leading the three-member bench, said the decision was unanimous.'
'Court of Appeal judge Justice Ramly Ali (now elevated to be Federal Court judge), who chaired a three-man panel, has allowed Anwar's application on Sept 17 to recuse a judge from hearing the prosecution's appeal.
With him in the panel then are Court of Appeal judges Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Justice Mohd Zawawi Salleh.
Karpal had applied to recuse Justice Tengku Maimun on grounds that there was a likelihood of bias in view of her ruling in Anwar's defamation suit against former premier Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad on July 9, 2007.'
2015 February 10: 5-men Panel headed by Chief Justice Tun Ariffin Zakaria, with Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Md Raus Shariff and Federal Court judges Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong, Tan Sri Suriyadi Halim Omar and Datuk Ramly Ali.
