A tribunal probing suspended High Court Judge Joseph Mutava heard that the Director of Public Prosecutions was never told to halt the trial of businessman Kamlesh Pattni.

Instead, the Prosecutor said he was served with an order putting on hold the criminal proceedings against Mr Pattni in the Sh5.8 billion fraud case.
