KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 (Bernama) -- The High Court (Appeals and Special Powers) will hear tomorrow Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin's application for leave to initiate proceedings to challenge the appointment of Datuk Zambry Abdul Kadir as Perak Menteri Besar.
Justice Datuk Abdul Aziz Abd Rahim said the first issue to be decided in the application for judicial review was whether leave should be given.
He then ordered Mohammad Nizar's counsel, Sulaiman Abdullah, and senior federal counsel Datuk Kamaluddin Md Said, for the Attorney-General, to make their submissions at 2.30pm tomorrow.
The judicial review application was remitted to the High Court after the Federal Court on March 23 ruled that issues on the interpretation of Article 16 (6) of the Perak state constitution should be heard and decided by the High Court and could only be referred to the Federal Court by way of appeal.
The five-member panel ordered that the case be remitted to Justice Lau Bee Lan and set aside all orders made by the Court of Appeal on March 20.
