Court allows stateless trio leave over not getting MyKads
The Kuala Lumpur High Court has today allowed leave (permission) to three stateless Indians to initiate a judicial review over their not being given MyKads.
Justice Zaleha Yusof dismissed a preliminary objection by the Attorney-General’s Chambers and allowed the applicants leave to start the judicial review.
A judicial review proceeding is a two-stage process to challenge an authority’s order as permission had to be gained first.
S Letchmy, K Sarojini and K Mala had named the National Registration Department (NRD) director-general, the Home Ministry and the government as respondents in the case.
Counsel Latheefa Koya, representing the applicants, said this is believed to be the first test case of a judicial review involving Malaysian-born Indians.
The attorney-general had objected to the judicial review bid, claiming the application was frivolous.
Senior federal counsel Shamsul Bol Hassan appeared for the respondents.
