 Prosecutor argues the application involved constitutional issues. 

The High Court does not have the jurisdiction to hear the bail application of Gadek state assemblyperson G Saminathan, who has been detained under a security law for alleged links with terrorist group LTTE, according to deputy public prosecutor Mohd Izhanudin Alias.

Izhanudin said the High Court does not have the jurisdiction to hear and decide on the bail application of an individual held under Sosma although the Sessions Court had referred the matter to it. He said the Sessions Court judge had on Nov 1 decided that there was merit in the defence application under Section 13 of Sosma to refer constitutional issues on bail to the High Court.
