Nearly three days of power cuts at the Alexandra magistrate’s court have forced the bail application of Pakistani national Hafiz Saddiq to be postponed.
Saddiq is accused of stealing the credentials of unsuspecting lawyers to launch urgent applications in the Johannesburg high court through the online case filing system.Saddiq’s applications have seen him presenting allegedly forged sales agreements to the court, which he claims have been reneged on by the owners. He then reportedly requested the court to issue an order to grant him control of the business.
The business was taken over despite Saddiq filing documents in his application, which were riddled with spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and contained allegedly forged commissioner of oaths stamps and illegible Companies and Intellectual Properties Commission documents.Attorney Daniel Jacobs, who represented a smartly dressed Saddiq, said though the courthouse was affected by power cuts his client was ready to proceed with the bail application.
The court, however, said power cuts, which have affected the courthouse since Thursday, meant the matter had to be postponed.TimesLIVE established from the court the cause of the blackouts.
