Thirty-three Sabah assemblyman want to appeal against the authority of governor Juhar Mahiruddin to dissolve the state assembly after his meeting with Shafie Apdal.
Speaking to reporters after the hearing of the leave application, Tengku Fuad Ahmad, representing the 33, said the issue highlighted by Chin was whether the court has justiciability over the case. Musa and the 32 other assemblymen are questioning the July 29 written request from Shafie to Juhar to dissolve the assembly.
Tengku Fuad said the main crux of their challenge was that Juhar was improperly advised to dissolve the assembly under Article 21 of the Sabah constitution.
