By S Ramesh, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 01 September 2008 1614 hrs
SINGAPORE: Lawyer M Ravi will be further remanded in the Institute of Mental Health (IMH) for another two weeks until September 15.
When his case came up for mention on Monday in the Subordinate Courts, the Deputy Public Prosecutor told the court that the IMH report on Ravi was not ready and the hospital needed to examine him further.
But Ravi, through his lawyer Violet Netto, argued that his own private psychiatrist was the best person to evaluate him as he had been seeing the doctor since 2006.
Ravi was charged in court on August 11 with disturbing a religious assembly.
The lawyer, who has represented the Singapore Democratic Party in previous civil cases, was allegedly disrupting evening prayers at the Jamae Chulia mosque on August 3 at about 7.30pm.
The police said the lawyer is known to have behaved violently and abusively at places of worship, the Subordinate Courts, and other public areas.
