The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today struck out Port Dickson voter Noraziah Mohd Shariff's challenge against PKR president Anwar Ibrahim's candidacy in the constituency’s recent by-election.
Justice Azizah Nawawi allowed the challenge to be struck out due to Noraziah’s absence from court today.
The judge had fixed today for the hearing of Noraziah's application to challenge Anwar's candidacy based on the allegedly questionable royal pardon granted to the PKR president.
In the last session, Justice Azizah had allowed Noraziah's then counsel M Reza Hassan to discharge himself from representing her.
Reza claimed that the reason to remove himself from representing Noraziah was because he could not get instructions from her.
Anwar's lawyer J Leela told Malaysiakini when contacted that the plaintiff had not been present in court today.
"The court struck out her originating summons with no order as to costs," Leela said.
