PUTRAJAYA: The Government can proceed with its appeal against a Court of Appeal decision striking down a provision in the Sedition Act 1948.

This follows a ruling by the Federal Court made on Wednesday to grant the Government leave to appeal against the decision made by the Court of Appeal last November which declares that section 3(3) of the Act is unconstitutional.
