The Federal Court rules that the attorney-general has the power to bring charges against anyone who disrespects the court.

Two articles by lawyer Arun Kasi in reference to allegations of judicial misconduct were published on the Aliran online portal recently.

Ramly said there were a “wealth of legal authorities”, locally and in other Commonwealth countries, that the AG or any other private party could act against those who show disrespect to the court.
