PUTRAJAYA: Former water concessionaire Puncak Niaga Holdings Bhd must now wait for a Federal Court ruling on whether it can reinstate a RM14 billion suit against two former Selangor menteris besar and the state government.
Judge Badariah Shahamid, who led a three-member bench, said the apex court ruling could have a bearing on the appeal, as lower courts are bound to follow legal pronouncements of the Federal Court.Lawyer Gopal Sreenevasan, who appeared for Puncak Niaga, submitted earlier that he was ready to proceed, saying his client’s case and the matter before the Federal Court are two different issues.
However, the lawyers appearing for the state government and former menteris besar Khalid Ibrahim and Mohamed Azmin Ali said they would prefer to wait for the Federal Court ruling. This was after Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Damansara MP Tony Pua filed suits against former prime minister Najib Razak ahead of the May 9 polls for allegedly abusing his position to cover up the 1MDB fiasco.
