KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 11): The High Court here will decide on March 11 whether or not to hear the full merits of a challenge filed by three opposition representatives over the emergency proclamation that has suspended the Parliament and state legislative assembly sittings.
This comes after their application for leave was heard today by High Court Justice Datuk Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid.
The three opposition representatives — Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub (the Pulai Member of Parliament [MP]), Datuk Johari Abdul (Sungai Petani MP) and Dr Abdul Aziz Bari (Tebing Tinggi assemblyman) filed the challenge last month to institute a judicial review of the validity of Sections 11, 14 and 15 of the Emergency (Essential Powers) Ordinance 2021 which they want the court to declare as unconstitutional.
