Ex-arbitration centre director eligible for immunity, rules court

The High Court here today ruled that former director of Asian International Arbitration Centre N Sundra Rajoo was entitled for immunity from any civil and criminal proceedings while holding the post.

“Therefore the judicial review application sought by the applicant is allowed with no order as to costs. "The power of the AG is not absolute and subject to court's scrutiny," she said in allowing Sundra Rajoo’s judicial review application to challenge his entitlement for immunity from any charges. Shanmuga told reporters that the defence would relay today’s decision to the Sessions Court during the case management on Jan 22.

On Nov 7, the High Court dismissed the application by the Foreign Ministry, AG, MACC and the government, named the respondents in the application, for a stay of the judicial review proceeding.
