The Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today dismissed an application to declare Section 4 of the PAA as unconstitutional and for an unlawful assembly charge to be struck out.

This was on the application by four student activists to refer a question on Section 4 of the Peaceful Assembly Act 2012 on assembling at a prohibited area.

Court of Appeal president Md Raus Sharif said the court should not encourage such applications, notably when the trial has proceeded.
