PETALING JAYA: The High Court has allowed an application by the Penang state assembly and its Speaker to refer to the Federal Court whether the state’s anti-hopping law violates the constitutional right to freedom of association.

Penang-based judicial commissioner Azizan Md Arshad, who delivered the ruling today, said the two had fulfilled the requirements of Article 128 of the Federal Constitution and Section 84 of the Courts of Judicature Act.
