PUTRAJAYA: Sixteen former Umno members failed in their appeal in the Federal Court to obtain leave to commence their challenge to dissolve the political party (Umno) for not holding party elections within the prescribed time.
A five-member bench led by Chief Judge of Malaya Tan Sri Azahar Mohamed held that the relief sought by the former Umno members in their judicial review application has become academic as the party had completed its party election at all levels.
He said the status of former Umno members were undisputed as they were no longer members of the political party by virtue of clause 20.7 of the Umn Constitution.
