The Court of Appeal made a ruling today that former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim could be present in court for his civil case against the Election Commission.
A three-member bench led by Justice Umi Kalthum Abdul Majid unanimously allowed Anwar's application.
"However this is with regards to this case and not others. We make no order as to costs," she said.
The other judges were Justice Vernon Ong and Justice Hasnah Hashim.
After the ruling, Anwar told reporters that he had the right to be in court to give instructions to his lawyers.
He was initially allowed to attend proceedings related to his appeal to seek a declaration on his right to vote in the Permatang Pauh constituency, but the order to produce (OTP) was revoked by the deputy registrar.
