Karpal Singh names Federal Court judge Datuk Hashim Yusoff, judge who failed to deliver about 35 judgments

Bukit Gelugor MP Karpal Singh today named Federal Court judge Datuk Hashim Yusoff in the Dewan Rakyat as the judge who failed to deliver about 35 judgments.

The veteran lawyer, who is DAP chairman, took the opportunity during the debate on the Industrial Relations Act (Amendment) Bill 2007 to make the allegations, offering evidence.

He said Chief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim had said he would investigate if there was any evidence.

“I have the evidence right here and I can prove it in Parliament,” he said.

Karpal said as such, the ball is in the court of Ahmad Fairuz to resolve the matter by looking into his allegation.

He said the Federal judge in question had not written judgment in 35 cases, including four in which the convicted are languishing in jail despite being sentenced to death seven years ago.

Does he (Hashim) have the characteristics of a good judge?” he asked.
