Govt can appeal landmark ruling

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has given the Government leave to appeal a landmark ruling that Section 3(3) of the Sedition Act is unconstitutional.

The three-man panel led by Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin granted leave after Sri Muda assemblyman Mat Shuhaimi Shafiei’s lawyers did not object to the legal questions the Government proposed to be deliberated at the Federal Court.
