PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed the applications by a former MP and a Pandan voter to challenge the Prime Minister’s request to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (YDPA) to dissolve Parliament in October last year.
A three-judge panel chaired by Justice P. Nallini threw out the case by both former Klang MP Charles Santiago and Pandan voter Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar after allowing the preliminary objection by the government, former prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and the Election Commission .
On this proposal, Justice Nallini said it was not possible to divorce the result from the events that commenced and ensued from the request of the dissolution of Parliament.“Because the two are indivisible. We cannot sever one from the other. For these reasons we are constrained to exercise our discretion.
Meanwhile, on Oct 14, the same year, Syed Iskandar filed an application for leave to initiate judicial review in seeking a declaration that the request by former prime minister Ismail Sabri to the YDPA on Oct 9 for the dissolution of Parliament pursuant to Articles 40 and 55 of the Federal Constitution is null and void and of no effect.
