KUALA LUMPUR: The recent appointments of Chief Justice Tan Sri Md Raus Sharif and Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin as additional judges in the Federal Court are unconstitutional, claims the Malaysian Bar.

On April 1, Md Raus was appointed as the 14th Chief Justice, replacing Tun Arifin Zakaria who retired after reaching the age of 66 years and six months on March 31, with Zulkefli appointed Court of Appeal President to succeed Md Raus.
