The Federal Court today ruled that there was no element of judicial bias in the Court of Appeal ruling ordering TV3, or Sistem Televisyen (M) Bhd, to pay damages to former Perak Menteri Besar Mohamad Nizar Jamaluddin for defamation.

Chief Judge of Malaya Justice Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin who led a five-member bench unanimously set aside TV3's appeal of judicial bias in the appellate court's decision which ruled that their 'Buletin Utama' report on Nizar was defamatory.
