PUTRAJAYA: Former Klang MP Charles Santiago and Pandan voter Dr Syed Iskandar Syed Jaafar Al Mahdzar who both sought to halt the 15th General Election have failed in their appeals at the Court of Appeal.
A three-judge panel chaired by Justice Azizah Nawawi unanimously dismissed the appeals in their decision here on Tuesday ."We are of the considered opinion that the High court judge is not tenably wrong in his decision to strike out the originating summons and to dismiss the leave application on the ground that the decision by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to dissolve the 14th Parliament under Article 55 of the Federal Constitution is non-justiciable," Justice Azizah said.
On Oct 11, Santiago filed the originating summons to seek a court order in his bid to stop the general election due to the rainy season and floods. On Oct 14, Syed Iskandar, 55, filed an application for leave to initiate judicial review in seeking a declaration that the request by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to the King on Oct 9 for the dissolution of Parliament pursuant to Articles 40 and 55 of the Federal Constitution is null and void and of no effect.
