Kuala Lumpur: Court of Appeal Judge Datuk Dr Hamid Sultan Abu Backer
(pic) Thursday failed in his application to challenge the Judges’ Ethics Committee’s (JEC) decision to hold a closed-door inquiry against him.
This is following a decision by High Court Judge Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya to allow the objection by the Attorney-General’s Chambers against Hamid Sultan’s application for leave for judicial review.
Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambali, when contacted, said the court allowed the AGC’s objection after finding that Hamid Sultan’s application was premature as the committee had yet to make a decision on the complaint against Hamid Sultan.
