Man fails in bid to reinstate lawsuit over ICJ's Batu Puteh decision


PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here dismissed Mohd Hatta Sanuri's application for leave to appeal, seeking to reinstate his lawsuit in connection with the government’s withdrawal of a review application on the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) decision on the sovereignty of Batu Puteh.

A three-judge panel led by Justice Datuk Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal unanimously found on Wednesday (March 20) that his application lacked merit and failed to meet the requirements of Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
