Gus Dur-Bagir talk not scheduled yet

JAKARTA: The Supreme Court has not made any schedule this week
for a meeting between former president Abdurrahman "Gus Dur"
Wahid and Chief Justice Bagir Manan despite the former's claim
that he would meet the judge to talk about his judicial review
over health requirements for presidential and vice presidential
candidates.

Bagir is expected to arrive from the Netherlands on Friday
afternoon and has no schedule to meet Gus Dur. He is not working
on Saturday and Sunday.

Visually impaired Gus Dur, who has been nominated by the
National Awakening Party (PKB), is seeking to overturn a verdict
issued by a Supreme Court panel of judges subjecting presidential
and vice presidential candidates to a stringent medical test to
determine their overall state of health. --JP
