The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today rapped the police for not accepting Bersih chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah's notice to hold the Bersih 4 rally last August.

Justice Mohammad Shariff Abu Samah said it was clear from the defence's additional affidavit that Maria had attempted to give notice for the rally in Dataran Merdeka to Dang Wangi district police chief Zainol Samah, as required by the Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA).
