High court rejects Malaysian Bar’s bid to challenge Ahmad Zahid’s DNAA

The High Court today rejected the Malaysian Bar’s application for leave to initiate a judicial review to challenge the Attorney-General’s decision to halt proceedings against Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi in his Yayasan Akalbudi corruption case.

He ruled that the Bar did not fulfil the threshold requirement under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act so leave could not be granted to Bar. In the application, the Bar, on Dec 2 last year, named the AG and the Deputy Prime Minister as respondents. It also wanted a court declaration that the Sept 4 decision by the High Court Judge Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah was null and void and made in excess of the jurisdiction granted to the AG.
