Kelantan Sultan's habeas corpus hearing adjourned

The Special Court hearing over the habeas corpus application at Putrajaya today to 'free' the Sultan of Kelantan Sultan Ismail Petra Sultan Yahya Petra, has been adjourned.

A later date to hear the application will be fixed.

The adjournment was due to a lack of quorum of judges as the Federal Constitution states that the Special Court must consist of five judges to hear the matter.

However, the current panel today only had four judges.

The habeas corpus application was brought by the lawyers for the Kelantan Sultan.
