PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has denied leave to Petronas to commence a legal challenge against the Sarawak government over the national oil company’s right to regulate the state’s oil and gas upstream activities.

Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Ahmad Maarop ruled that the declaratory relief sought by Petronas did not come under Article 4 (4) and Article 4 (3) of the Federal Constitution.
