PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court here on Friday (April 25) vacated the hearing of the prosecution’s review application challenging the top court’s earlier 2-1 majority ruling that it (the Federal Court) has the jurisdiction to review death sentences that had been imposed on four prisoners whose sentences have been commuted by the Pardons Boards.
Lawyer Datuk N.Sivananthan, representing two of the four prisoners, told the media that the hearing did not proceed on Friday to allow the parties to explore the possibility of applying the Federal Court’s ruling to 123 other prisoners who are in the same situation as the four.
