Hulu S'gor petition: Round 1 to Kamalanathan
- 9 years ago
MIC's P Kamalanathan has won the first round in his bid to strike out Zaid Ibrahim's petition against the Hulu Selangor by-election result.
In dismissing Zaid's preliminary objection against Kamalanathan's application to strike out the petition, election judge Justice Azahar Mohamed ruled against the claim that Election Court had no jurisdiction to hear the matter.
"So tomorrow, I will hear the preliminary objection (to strike out Zaid's suit) and the merits of the election petition," said the judge.
He cited three case laws, including the recent Ahmad Jamaluddin Abdul Majid vs Rafidah Aziz, in ruling that the election judge must have the power to strike out an application.
