Court erred in dismissing Anwar's bid for review

comment On Feb 25, 2010 Malaysiakini reports that Anwar Ibrahim failed to convince the Federal Court to review its Jan 29 decision to bar him from obtaining more key evidence from his sodomy trial.

The report quotes the judges saying: "Rule 137 (of the Rules of the Federal Court) does not confer jurisdiction on the Federal Court to review its own decision."

Why not? Why can’t the earlier decision of the same Federal Court be reviewed? Rule 137 of the Rules allows it.
