Bukit Cherakah degazettement: Appeals court defers decision in NGOS’ appeal

Ongoing land clearing and development at the Bukit Cherakah Forest Reserve beside Perdana Heights in Selangor.

PUTRAJAYA: A Court of Appeal three-member bench has deferred its decision to a date to be fixed later over the appeal by two non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who were denied leave by the High Court to commence a judicial review to challenge the Selangor state government’s action to degazette Bukit Cherakah as a forest reserve.

Justice Datuk Azizah Nawawi, who chaired the bench, said the court adjourned to another date to give the decision as the matter was of public interest.
