However, she will only serve for six months.
PUTRAJAYA: Federal Court judge Zabariah Yusof has been appointed to the Judicial Appointments Commission for six months, replacing Nallini Pathmanathan whose two-year tenure ended two months ago. Zabariah’s name was included in the updated list of nine commission members published on JAC ’s website.Zabariah turned 66 – the mandatory retirement age for judges – on April 10. However, she received a six-month extension to remain in office from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, Court of Appeal president Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, Chief Judge of Malaya Hasnah Hashim, and Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abdul Rahman Sebli presently sit on the JAC as they hold the four top administrative posts in the judiciary. Last year, the prime minister appointed four eminent persons to the JAC for a two-year term beginning Nov 1: former attorney-general Idrus Harun, former Federal Court judge Zainun Ali, former Sarawak attorney-general Talat Mahmood Abdul Rashid, and Universiti Teknologi Mara law lecturer Hartini Saripan.
The JAC nominates the names of candidates for elevation and promotion to the prime minister as required under the JAC Act, which came into force in 2009. The king then appoints judges on the advice of the prime minister after consulting the Conference of Rulers, as stated under Article 122B of the Federal Constitution.
