PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed lawyer Mohd Hatta Sanuri’s application for leave to appeal in his bid to reinstate a suit over the cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) project.

A three-member bench comprising Justices Datuk Zabariah Mohd Yusof, Datuk Abu Bakar Jais and Datuk Hanipah Farikullah unanimously ruled on Tuesday (May 27) that the legal questions posed failed to meet the threshold under Section 96 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
