KUALA LUMPUR: Documents in a suit over the withdrawal of a review application on the International Court of Justice (ICJ) decision on Pulau Batu Puteh may not be disclosed to outside parties, the High Court here has ruled.

Judge Datuk Rozana Ali Yusoff allowed the application by the Prime Minister and the government of Malaysia for the protection order filed on Nov 29, Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly told reporters on Monday .

Based on the notice of application, the defendants had sought an order that all materials and documents presented as exhibits in any interlocutory application and trial of the suit may only be disclosed to parties in the case, counsel representing the plaintiff and defendants, trial witnesses, as well as parties deemed necessary by the court.

The defendants also sought an order to ensure the confidential documents are not categorised as public and cannot be opened for inspection or copied in any form, including for online inspection by e-filing.The application was made on the grounds that, among others, the documents and information to be disclosed in the suit had the status of classified documents and top secret status under the Official Secrets Act 1972.

On May 28 last year, Mohd Hatta, 45, filed the suit on his behalf and on behalf of the more than 32 million Malaysians affected by the withdrawal of the review application, without discussing and tabling it first in Parliament.
