KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has extended an extension on a temporary stay order on the deportation of 114 Myanmar refugees back to their homeland.
Justice Mariana Yahya allowed the extension pending its decision on an application for leave to initiate judicial review filed by two non-governmental organisations – Asylum Access Bhd and Aimal Sdn Bhd – in their bid to stop the deportation of the refugees.
The court fixed March 9 to deliver its decision.
On Monday (Feb 22), the NGOs filed the leave application and named the government, Immigration director-general and Home Affairs Ministry as respondents.
When contacted, Senior Federal Counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly, who represented the respondents, said he had objected to the application, citing the issue of the ouster clause prescribed under Section 59A of the Immigration Act 1959 and the applicants locus standi.
