PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed Bersatu's application to get leave to appeal the Parliament Speaker's refusal to declare as vacant four Sabah parliamentary seats won by the party's former members.
In a 2-1 majority ruling, a three-judge panel led by Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Datuk Azizah Nawawi, who sat with Federal Court judges Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan and Datuk Collin Lawrence Sequerah, rejected the application. Justices Nallini and Sequerah formed the majority, while Justice Azizah dissented.
