Appeals court rules High Court wrong to allow challenge against EC

The Court of Appeal has ruled that the High Court in Malacca was wrong to grant leave (permission) for six residents to challenge the Election Commission's delimitation exercise.

The three-member bench ruled that the appeal by the EC is allowed as they agreed with the submission of the EC represented by senior federal counsel Amarjeet Singh.

"We make no order as to costs," said Justice Umi Kalthum Abdul Majid.

The other judges were Justice Idrus Harun and Justice Hasnah Mohamed Hashim.

With this decision, the judges struck out the Malacca challenge.
