Sabahans fail to revive suit against Hadi for alleged attack on Christians
The Court of Appeal says it concurs with the High Court decision that the declarations sought by the two Sabahans against PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang was unsustainable.
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal by two Sabahans to revive a suit filed against PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang for an alleged attack on Christians.
Judge Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera said a three-member bench concluded that the finding of the High Court last year was not manifestly wrong in law.
“We agree with the High Court that the two declarations sought (by the Sabahans) are wholly unsustainable and ought to be struck out,” said Vazeer, who sat with Supang Lian and Ghazali Cha.
However, the bench set aside the punitive costs of RM50,000 imposed on Maklin Masiau and Lawrence Jomiji Kinsil @ Maximilhian.
“There is merit to the appeal (on costs) as there is no basis to make the award,” he said.
The bench only ordered the two to pay Hadi RM10,000 in costs for the proceedings in the High Court and Court of Appeal.
