Apex court quashes review of Lingam RCI
- 9 years ago
The Federal Court today unanimously ruled that a court of law cannot review the findings of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the infamous VK Lingam video.
In setting aside a Court of Appeal order, the three-member panel found that the commission's role is merely to investigate the issue and not to come to any decision.
"But there is another more important reason. We are of the view that there is a strong policy consideration that it is against public interest to allow the findings of the commission to be challenged in our courts," said Justice Md Raus Sharif, who read out the landmark judgment.
