KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today allowed Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s bid to strike out an originating summons filed by P. Waytha Moorthy challenging his appointment as Prime Minister and Tambun Member of Parliament (MP).

Judge Alice Loke Yee Ching, in allowing the application, held that the court has no jurisdiction to entertain the summons, as any challenge to an election must be brought by way of an election petition.

“The summons is unsustainable and unarguable. The plaintiff (Waytha Moorthy) has no prospect of success. Accordingly, the striking-out application is allowed and the summons is struck out,” she said.
