Top court bins transgenders’ bid to review 2015 ruling on Negri Shariah law on cross-dressers
Monday, 27 Jul 2020 04:18 PM MYT
Chief Justice Tan Sri Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat who chaired the Federal Court five-member panel today dismissed the application brought by Muhamad Juzaili Mohd Khamis, Shukor Jani and Wan Fairol Wan Ismail. At today's proceedings, lawyer Aston Paiva, representing the make-up artists, sought the Federal Court to grant leave to review and set aside the Federal Court’s decision on Oct 8, 2015 or alternatively to hear the appeals.
He said the trio should have filed their legal challenge straight to the Federal Court and not by way of a judicial review in the Seremban High Court. She said although the Federal Court had the inherent power to review its own decision, the review power must be exercised sparingly.
