A court has denied a request by alleged Bondi gunman Naveed Akram to provide anonymity protections for his family members.

Akram had sought legal measures to shield his relatives from public identification in connection with the case. The court rejected this application, meaning family members may be subject to public naming in media coverage and court proceedings.

The decision comes as legal proceedings continue in the high-profile case that has drawn significant public and media attention. Akram faces charges related to the incident at Bondi, which has been the subject of extensive coverage.

The court's ruling suggests that standard legal protections around family anonymity did not meet the threshold for extraordinary measures in this case. Legal experts note that such requests are typically granted only under specific circumstances involving threats to safety or other compelling factors.

The case remains active in the court system, with further proceedings expected as the legal process moves forward.
