Court sets aside suspension of The Edge daily, weekly
The High Court today revoked the home minister’s decision to suspend The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for three months.
Judge Datuk Asmabi Mohamad in allowing the judicial review application said the respondent (minister) had breached Section 7 (1) of the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1984.
“The respondent did not comply with procedural fairness as he did not give particulars of suspension to the applicant,” she said.
The judge said the minister had taken irrelevant consideration to impose a blanket ban of three months.
The Home Ministry had suspended the publishing permit of The Edge Weekly and The Edge Financial Daily for three months from July 27. – September 21, 2015.
