PENANG: A High Court has thrown out an application for leave by PAS candidate Abdul Khalid Rasid in the recent general election to seek a judicial review to nullify Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi’s nomination for the Kepala Batas parliamentary seat.
Justice Mohd Noor Abdullah decided not to grant Abdul Khalid leave to file a certiorari application to nullify the returning officer’s decision in rejecting the PAS member's objection against Abdullah’s candidacy on nomination day on March 13.
