The Court of Appeal says the PKR candidate failed to show that returning officer Amino Agos Suyub is a public officer.

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today threw out PKR’s Rantau candidate Dr Streram Sinnasamy’s RM7.6 million misfeasance lawsuit against the Election Commission and its former returning officer.

Last September, the High Court ordered Streram’s lawsuit to proceed to a full trial, after dismissing EC and Amino’s bid to strike out the lawsuit. “He was employed as returning officer under Article 115 by EC to conduct the polls in the Rembau constituency last year,” she said, adding that Amino is also protected under Section 6 of the Election Commission Act and that EC members enjoy immunity from civil action against them.
