PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Court of Appeal has dismissed the appeals by Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad to challenge the appointment of former Chief Justice Tun Md Raus Sharif and Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin.
This followed a request by Dr Mahathir's lawyer Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdullah for the two appeals to be dismissed based on the Federal Court's ruling on another case that the issue was academic and that Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, who is the first respondent in the appeals, is no longer the prime minister.
