KUCHING: The Sabah and Sarawak High Court Registry will not move from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu as announced last week.
In a letter dated Tuesday (April 23), Federal Court Chief Registrar Datuk Seri Latifah Mohd Tahar said the planned relocation of the Registry would not be implemented.
The letter was copied to top judiciary officials and sent to legal and law enforcement bodies.
In an earlier circular dated April 19, Latifah said the Registry here would be relocated to Kota Kinabalu effective May 1.
The announcement had sparked an uproar among lawyers and politicians in Sarawak as Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Tun Openg was not consulted over the move in accordance with Article 121(4) of the Federal Constitution.
The state government also objected to the move, saying it was "unconstitutional" and did not comply with the rule of law.- Star
