Local lawyer Marcel Jude, Margret Binsing from Tambunan and Tessa Romana from Penampang are seeking a High Court order to quash Yang Di Pertua Negeri Tun Juhar Mahiruddin's decision to dissolve the state assembly on July 30.
Jude said that they had named Juhar as first respondent and the Election Commission chairman as second respondent in the suit filed via e-filing with the Kota Kinabalu High Court at noon Sunday .They also hoped that the court considers an Erinford injunction granted against both Tun Juhar and EC chairman until the conclusion of the appeal of Tan Sri Musa Aman in the Federal Court in respect of his claim to be the rightful Chief Minister of Sabah.
“Therefore, this is not the time or place to have the state election because it will bring people together, creating crowded spaces and confined areas and remove physical distancing on a large scale for the population of Sabah, ” they said in their court filing.
