Kota Kinabalu High Court says it has no justiciability to hear and decide on the case. FMTNews BrenndonKeithSoh

Sabah Attorney-General Brenndon Keith Soh at the Kota Kinabalu High Court today.

KOTA KINABALU: The High Court here has dismissed the judicial review application by 33 Sabah assemblymen against Sabah governor Juhar Mahiruddin’s consent to dissolve the state assembly. The group, led by former chief minister Musa Aman, filed the leave for judicial review on Aug 3, seeking an injunction to the dissolution of the assembly.

They also questioned the written request from Shafie Apdal, who is now caretaker chief minister, to Juhar for the dissolution of the assembly. Judicial commissioner Leonard David Shim struck out the application on grounds that the court had no justiciability to hear and decide on the case.
