Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah Anwar today questioned the Court of Appeal's haste in fixing the hearing date of the Attorney-General's Chambers appeal for the Election Commission (EC), after she and 10 voters obtained leave for her constituency to challenge the EC's redelineation exercise earlier this month.
The PKR vice-president said normally the appellate court would fix a date after two months of an appeal filed. However, in the case affecting her constituency, the AG Chambers' appeal had been fixed on Feb 13.
"We do not know the grounds of the AG Chambers' appeal as the record of appeal has not been filed yet. Usually this process takes two months or more.
"Yet, the Court of Appeal fixed the date to hear and expedite the request. I hope there is no interference (by the judiciary)," she said.
