KUCHING: The Advocates Association of Sarawak (AAS) welcomes the decision not to relocate the Sabah and Sarawak High Court Registry from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu, saying the rule of law has prevailed in the matter.

AAS president Ranbir Singh Sangha said implementing the relocation without the Prime Minister's consultation with the Chief Minister of Sarawak, as required by Article 121 of the Federal Constitution, would have set a bad precedent.

"However, perhaps a step further should be taken to revoke the approval to relocate the Registry from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu, as contained in the letter dated April 19," he said in a statement on Tuesday . Ranbir said the AAS had viewed the manner of the relocation with"grave concern" over the past few days, as it did not comply with Article 121.
