KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 — Former Lembaga Tabung Haji chairman Datuk Seri Abdul Azeez Abdul Rahim today secured High Court permission to challenge the Inland Revenue Board’s (IRB) decision to revoke a RM4.8 million tax settlement he says he had fully paid.
The court today allowed his application for leave to commence judicial review, paving the way for a full hearing on whether IRB was legally entitled to cancel the agreement.
Azeez’s lawyer Datuk Amer Hamzah Arshad said the court was satisfied that there were legal issues that warranted further examination, local media reported this afternoon.
“After hearing submissions from both parties, the court is satisfied that there are legal issues to be heard in our leave application,” he told reporters after the hearing, according to news portal Free Malaysia Today.
