The Court of Appeal has postponed hearing the prosecution’s appeal to reinstate 40 criminal charges against Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi involving the foreign visa system.
Zahid, who is also rural and regional development minister, said the Bar showed irrational behaviour in questioning the powers given to the AG who is acting as public prosecutor as the AG's decision cannot be challenged through a judicial review application.
Ambiga informed the court of the Bar’s intentions only after senior federal counsel Ahmad Hanir Hambaly on behalf of the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) told the court at length his arguments as to why the judicial review application should not be granted leave.
THE Malaysian Bar has filed a judicial review application against the attorney-general and Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi seeking, inter alia, a prerogative order of mandamus instructing the AG to act per the law, including prosecuting Zahid again if deemed appropriate, as per Section 254A of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC).
