Quote of the Month
[36] In judicial review applications, as opposed to other interlocutory applications, the distinguishing factor is that the affidavit verifying facts is the same affidavit used for the substantive application. Thus, according to Tuan Hj Sarip Hamid & Anor v Patco Malaysia Bhd [1995] 2 MLJ 442, while the leave application for review is interlocutory in character, the affidavit may require direct knowledge depending on the nature of the subject matter. In this case, in view of the nature of the subject matter, the addendum order, or its existence thereof, I hold that no weight is attached to the same in determining whether leave ought to be granted or otherwise. - AMARJEET SINGH J Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib bin Tun Hj Abd Razak v Menteri Dalam Negeri & Ors [2025] 9 MLJ 611 [HC] |
