KARACHI (Reuters) - Visa plans to increase the number of businesses accepting digital payments in Pakistan tenfold over the next three years, the payments giant's general manager for Pakistan, North Africa and Levant told Reuters.

PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has failed in his bid to review the decision by a previous Court of Appeal panel that reinstated four abuse of power charges against him linked to the misappropriation of RM232.5mil.

This was because the High Court was not exercising its revisionary powers regarding any criminal matter decided by the Sessions Court, it added. The panel said Subsection 50 of the CJA could not be read in isolation and that all the relevant provisions on revisionary powers of the High Court must be read together as a whole and construed harmoniously with one another to avoid ambiguity or absurdity in the application of law.

On Aug 15 last year, High Court judge Justice Muhammad Jamil Hussin acquitted and discharged Muhyiddin on four counts of abuse of power, involving RM232.5mil, in connection with the Jana Wibawa project.On Feb 28, a three-member panel at the Court of Appeal overturned Muhyiddin's acquittal and ordered that the charges be reinstated.
