Only five judges to hear final appeal - Malaysiakini

Ousted Perak menteri besar Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin has been dealt another blow with the Federal Court refusing his request for a full 11-member bench to hear his appeal.

Instead, only a five-member bench as been appointed to hear his appeal in a case brought by Nizar that will determine if he, or Barisan Nasional’s Zambry Abdul Kadir, was the rightful menteri besar.

Nizar’s lawyer Leong Cheok Keng said the information was relayed to him through a letter faxed to his firm yesterday.

“No reasons or explanations were given as to the refusal,” said Leong in a statement, adding that the legal team was disappointed and disheartened by the refusal.
