KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has dismissed a lawsuit filed by ex-spy boss Datuk Hasanah Abdul Hamid (pic) against the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) for allegedly disallowing her to consult her lawyer while she was in remand.

In his decision, High Court judge Justice Nordin Hassan said Sections 28A(8) and (9) of the Criminal Procedure Code, which touched on the rights of an arrested person, did not infringe Article 5(3) and Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
