印尼籍前女佣巴蒂透过代表律师，早前向涉及检控其案件的检两名主控官发起纪律研讯。不过据知巴蒂在本周二却提呈撤诉的申请。 巴蒂代表律师阿尼尔（Anil Balchandani），今午（10月1日）在法庭告知大法官梅达顺，过去一个月来发生的事件，令巴蒂负荷不来，再者被官司缠身四年，巴蒂希望能早日返乡，这是巴蒂有意撤诉的原因之一。 不过，巴蒂仍坚信，两名副检察司（Deputy Public Prosecutor），仍需要针对她的指控作出交代。 大法官则给巴蒂两周时间，决定是否仍继续继续对两名著空管的纪律研讯。 代表总检察署的政府律师Kristy Tan则表示，上述两名副检察司不会反对将此事交给纪律仲裁庭调查，也让他们有机会能作出辩解。 被要求答辩的是两名署理检控官 Tan Wee Hao和Tan Yanying，他们由总检察署的Kristy Tan Ruyan等人代表。 若巴蒂对司法官员不当行为的申诉，获得大法官允准进行调查，当局将设立纪律审裁庭，以调查相关申诉并提成给大法官，后者有权作出惩处，或驳回有关申诉。 若违反律师专业法令下，一些相关惩处包括被剔除职务、罚款最高2万元，或任何纪律审裁庭认为合适的处罚。 巴蒂在去年被国家法院判监禁26个月，惟在本月4日，终获高庭推翻判决，沉冤得雪。巴蒂一案近两周来引起国人议论，并关注女佣在整个审讯中处于弱势的地位。高庭法官陈成安判决中，更形容廖家父子报警可能存在“不当意图”，被告有充分理由投诉人力部，而廖家“先下手为强”将他开除。
