A happy Nizar waves to supporters after the court allowed his appeal. — Picture by Jack Ooi
The Federal Court today granted Nizar leave to make his appeal against last month's Court of Appeal decision declaring his political rival Barisan Nasional's (BN) Datuk Seri Zambry Abd Kadir the mentri besar.
Leave was granted without objections.
No date has been fixed for the appeal proper to be heard but the three-man panel of judges rejected Nizar's bid for a court order to prevent Zambry from carrying out his duties as MB.
Nizar had this morning applied for a stay order to prevent Zambry from reversing any more of the PR government's state policies pending his appeal.
The popular PAS leader claims some of Zambry's decisions, which he claims are creating chaos in Perak, will be “impossible” to overturn should the Federal Court rule in his favour.
