KUALA LUMPUR: The Federal Court will deliver its judgment on Sept 24 on the suit by the Malaysian Bar and the Advocates Association of Sarawak (AAS) challenging the reappointment of two retired judges as Chief Justice and Court of Appeal President last year.

The Bar and AAS are questioning whether the appointments of former chief justice Tun Raus Sharif and former Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin as additional judges last year were constitutional.
