Court denies leave to appeal decision on redelineation

PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court held that the Election Commission’s (EC) recommendations for a redelineation exercise in parliamentary and state constituencies were not amenable to judicial review.

Chief Justice Tun Md Raus Sharif, who chaired a three-man bench, said the EC’s action in its delimitation exercise was a mere action that did not bind parties, and as such was not amendable to judicial review.
