The Federal Court has postponed its decision on the prosecution’s final appeal against the acquittal of Muar MP Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman until July 13.
A three-member Federal Court panel had been scheduled to deliver its ruling today.
However, Court of Appeal President Abu Bakar Jais announced that the decision would be deferred after Justice Ruzima Ghazali was unable to attend the proceedings due to medical leave.
Sitting alone, Abu Bakar said it would not be appropriate for the court to deliver the judgment in the absence of one of the panel members.
The court will now hand down its decision on July 13.
