Amanah files judicial review against chief justice



Parti Amanah Negara has filed a judicial review today seeking an explanation in court from Chief Justice Md Raus Sharif on what authority he can be appointed as an additional judge and to hold or remain in that post.
The application was filed in the High Court in Kuala Lumpur by Abang Ahmad Kerdee Abang Masagus, who is the assistant secretary of the party, in which he named Justice Raus as the sole respondent.
He is seeking leave to get the declaration that the appointment of Justice Raus as an additional judge under Article 122 (1A) of the Federal Constitution is invalid, unconstitutional and hence null and void.


Abang Kerdee (photo), who hails from Sarawak, is also seeking a declaration that the appointment of Justice Raus as CJ under Article 122 (1A) of the Federal Constitution is invalid, unconstitutional and hence null and void.
He is also seeking leave to get a 'writ of quo waranto' for Justice Raus to explain and show how his appointment and on what policy, basis and authority can he hold the post as an additional judge or CJ.
A quo warranto requires the person named to show by what warrant the office is held or claimed.
Besides Amanah, former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Malaysian Bar have also filed separate challenges against Justice Raus and Court of Appeal president Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin, who have exceeded the 66 years and six months compulsory retirement age for judges.
