PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court on Wednesday ruled that the Edge Communications Sdn Bhd  could claim for damages from the Home Minister for loss incurred over the three-months suspension of two of its publications in 2015. 

In making the ruling, the court dismissed an appeal by the Home Minister and the Home Ministry secretary-general to set aside the appellate court's decision in allowing the company to claim damages from them.
