Judge Nordin Hassan says the attorney-general has unfettered discretion under the constitution over prosecution matters.
KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court today dismissed a leave application for judicial review by a former director of the Asian International Arbitration Centre who claimed to enjoy immunity from prosecution.
“Having considered the cause papers and submissions, this court has no jurisdiction to hear the matter and cannot stop the AG from prosecuting,” he said. “This is not the right forum to raise the issue. The applicant has come to the civil court to stop a criminal case,” she said. Sundra claims he enjoys immunity as the centre was set up in 1978, following diplomatic correspondence between Malaysia and the Asian-African Legal Consultative Organisation.
