JA-25-43-10/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Applicant failed to establish cogent and reasonable grounds for the seven‑month delay after receipt of the decision on 20.3.2021; the reasons advanced were unconvincing and MCO did not prevent prompt action. Compliance with O.53 time limits is jurisdictional and absence of timely leave meant the court could not entertain the judicial review; extension was refused and the application dismissed.

BA-25-35-05/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court refused to grant extension of time because the applicant filed a writ instead of pursuing judicial review, failed to provide good and satisfactory reasons or material for the delay after the DAB decision, and therefore the application was time‑barred and the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the leave application.
