KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court has fixed Jan 7 next year to rehear a legal and constitutional challenge posed by Port Dickson MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim over the validity of the National Security Council Act (NSCA) 2016.

The constitutional matter was raised in Anwar’s originating summons that seeks to challenge the NSC Act on grounds that it was “unconstitutional”.

On Sept 10, the Federal Court allowed Anwar’s application to review a majority decision by the apex court that declined to answer legal questions on the constitutionality of the NSCA.In the application filed in March this year, Anwar as the applicant claimed that grave injustice had occurred following the court's decision not to answer his constitutional questions.

In the notice of motion, he said there was also a serious breach of natural justice as he was not given the right to be heard on the issue of whether the constitutional questions posed were abstract, academic and hypothetical.He wanted the Federal Court to set aside the majority verdict and to make an order deemed proper and just.
