Federal Court says levy does not impinge on right to travel abroad, dismisses lawyer's leave to appeal


PUTRAJAYA: A lawyer’s legal challenge on the imposition of departure levy on Malaysians travelling overseas has come to an end as he failed to get leave from the Federal Court to proceed with his appeal.

A three-member bench of the Federal Court comprising Justices Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, Datuk Seri Hasnah Mohammed Hashim and Datuk Nordin Hassan, on Thursday (Aug 3) dismissed R. Kengadharan's application for leave to pursue his appeal.
