Kuala Lumpur: The Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) has objected to the application for leave for judicial review by Court of Appeal judge Datuk Dr Hamid Sultan Abu Backer
(pic) to challenge the Judges’ Ethics Committee’s (JEC) decision to hold the investigative proceedings against him in-camera.
Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambali, who acted on behalf of the AGC, told reporters that the objection was made as the application was premature and an abuse of the court’s process.
“We submitted that the committee has not made any final decision against Hamid Sultan and the application made by him is premature as the applicant has not been found breaching the Ethics Code,” he said.
