Another order in the application is for the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Division to issue the autopsy results one month after the autopsy is conducted.
The third order in the application is for an inquest to be conducted to investigate the actual cause of Muhammad Amir Rusyaidi's death. An order for this inquest is also part of the application.

The respondents have been given until October 24 to file their rejoinder affidavit.
The decision on the application is set for November 20. The location for the hearing remains Shah Alam, Malaysia. It is worth noting that, as of this writing, the search results do not provide information about who represents the first prosecuting authority, the Heimatministerium (Ministry of Homeland), in court proceedings on the current day.
