PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has withdrawn his appeal over the High Court's decision that dismissed his attempt to refer eight questions of law to the Federal Court linked to a lawsuit filed by Muhammed Yusoff Rawther.
Court of Appeal judge Justice Wong Kian Kheong, who chaired a three-judge panel, ordered the Tambun MP to pay RM50,000 in costs to Muhammed Yusoff before 5pm on April 6.
"We struck out the appeal with costs," he said here on Wednesday (March 4).
Other judges on the panel were Justices Azmi Ariffin and Latifah Mohd Tahar.
Anwar had wanted to refer eight legal questions relating to immunity from being sued to the Federal Court.
The application was filed in relation to a lawsuit brought by Muhammed Yusoff, a former research assistant, who alleges him of sexual assault eight years ago. - Star
