KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim on Thursday (April 22) has failed in his bid to obtain leave to challenge Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin s action in advising Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah to suspend Parliament during the emergency period.
This followed a decision by Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya, who was sitting as a High Court Judge, in allowing the objection by the Attorney-General s Chambers (AGC) to the leave application for judicial review filed by the opposition leader.
Federal counsel Mohammad Sallehuddin Md Ali said Judge Mariana dismissed the application on the grounds that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the judicial review based on Articles 150(6) and 150(8) of the Federal Constitution.
