Lawyer Arun Kasi has failed in his bid to set aside the leave granted by the Federal Court to Attorney General Tommy Thomas to cite him for contempt of court. — Picture by Mukhriz Hazim
Federal Court judge Tan Sri Ramly Ali said he was not persuaded by Arun’s lawyer that the AG acted ultra vires Article 145 and lacked locus standi to institute the ex-parte application having regard to the wealth of authority available locally and in the Commonwealth. Ramly, who chaired a five-member panel, presided over the hearing with Federal Court judges Datuk Nallini Pathmanathan, Datuk Rohana Yusuf, Tan Sri Azahar Mohamed and Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat.
Lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, who represented Arun, had earlier argued that the AG has no power to cite his client for contempt as the AG could only do so based on written law as provided under Article 145 of the Federal Constitution.
