Mehajer case over defect notice sunk

NSW Police have dropped their case against sidelined Auburn deputy mayor Salim Mehajer's wife over a car defect notice.

Aysha Mehajer, 29, was prepared to mount a court challenge after refusing to pay a defect fine issued to the couple's brand new Mercedes in October last year.

The case was due to come before Burwood Local Court on Tuesday, but the prosecutor advised the registrar the matter had been withdrawn.
