Appellate judge withdraws from 204 Raub durian farmers' review

A Court of Appeal judge has recused himself from hearing a review bid by 204 Raub durian farmers to maintain their orchards, pending their appeal to nullify the Pahang government’s attempt to evict them.

During open-court proceedings before a three-person appellate bench this morning, panel member Wong Kian Kheong disclosed a connection with Brendan Navin Siva, one of the lawyers representing the farmers.
