The Court of Appeal has reversed a High Court decision to reject a judicial review application brought by three Hulu Selangor voters against the Election Commission (EC).

The case would be remitted to the Kuala Lumpur High Court, which would hear the merits of P Maradeveran, Zahar Rusuli, and Yong Chan Hee's application to challenge the EC's locality correction exercise.

The exercise supposedly conducted under Section 7(2) of the Elections Act 1958 had purportedly moved Maradeveran and Zahar from the Batang Kali state constituency to the neighbouring Kuala Kubu Baru constituency. Yong, a Hulu Selangor local councillor and Kuala Kubu Baru voter, claims to have been adversely affected.
