Govt applies to strike out lawyer’s Emergency suit


KUALA LUMPUR: The government has applied to strike out a lawsuit filed by a lawyer who is challenging the decision by Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah in October last year not to declare a state of emergency in the country.

In the court papers filed at the High Court yesterday, the government stated that the lawsuit by Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar was disgraceful, vexatious, frivolous and an abuse of court process.
