PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed a leave application by seven smokers who are seeking to challenge the Health Ministry’s smoking ban at eateries.

A three-judge panel, chaired by Federal Court judge Justice Zabariah Mohd Yusof, made the unanimous decision for dismissal yesterday.

The panel ruled that the applicants – Mohd Hanizam Yunus, 56, Zulkifli Mohamad, 61, Mohd Laisani Dollah, 50, Mohd Sufian Awaludin, 39, Ridzuan Muhammad Noor, 57, Mohd Yazid Mohd Yunus, 52, and Yuri Azhar Abdollah, 44 – had failed to cross the threshold to obtain leave as required under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act.

The provision states that applicants must first raise a question of general principle decided for the first time or a question of importance on which further argument and a Federal Court decision would benefit the public.“We dismiss the leave application with RM30,000 in costs to be paid to the respondents,” said Justice Zabariah.
