Calls for open court proceedings not misplaced — Hafiz Hassan

APRIL 23 — Order 53 rule 3 Rules of Court 2012 states that an application for leave for judicial review must be madeChambers mean the room in which judges sit to hear interlocutory matters which need not be heard in court. Proceedings in chambers are not open to the public. Generally, only the parties and solicitors are allowed in chambers. explained as follows:

”The term ‘chambers’ is used in contrast to the term ‘court’. In fact, applications in chambers are merely conducted before a court sitting in private and only the parties and their representatives will be allowed to be present.” Generally, all proceedings in the High Court and all businesses arising therefrom must be heard and disposed of in open court. Where any statute — eg Order 53 rule 3) Rules of Court 2012 — or practice of court provides otherwise, the proceedings will then be dealt with in chambers.

Najib’s bid to serve the rest of his sentence under house arrest is a matter of public interest, and that the basic tenets of democracy require the judicial process to be transparent, not shrouded in a cloud of secrecy.
