The representative cautioned the AGF that the imitation suit would add up to a damage to this nation if at last, the court discovers that the principles were not produced.
In any case, the AGF said he had no remark on Lidani's inquiry that he ought to give evidence of fabrication and restated his before position that the matter was subjudice.
