Lawyer fails to get leave to challenge Anwar’s pardon
The Federal Court has denied lawyer Mohd Khairul Azam Abdul Aziz leave to challenge the legality of a royal pardon granted to Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in 2018. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, January 10, 2023.
“The court below made a finding of fact that the Pardons Board was properly constituted. We concur that the questions proposed by the applicant did not meet the threshold requirement under section 96 and of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964. On the advice of the Pardons Board to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tengku Maimun said the apex court found that there was no basis to suggest any misrepresentation in the advice offered.
Tengku Maimun made the ruling after hearing submissions from Khairul’s lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla, J. Leela, who represented the prime minister, and senior federal counsel Suzana Atan who acted for Pardons Board. On September 21, 2020, Anwar and the Pardons Board lost their bid in the High Court to strike out the lawsuit.
