PUTRAJAYA — The Federal Court heard submissions on Saturday regarding the High Court's imposition of a RM10 million bond on former Ampang Member of Parliament Zuraida Kamaruddin, with her legal team arguing the quantum was reasonable given the circumstances of the case.
The hearing centred on PKR's challenge to the High Court's earlier decision, with arguments presented on the proportionality and justification of the bond amount ordered in relation to the proceedings against the former minister.
Justices reserved their decision following the conclusion of submissions, with no timeline yet announced for when the ruling will be delivered. The outcome could have significant implications for how similar bond requirements are determined in future cases.
Zuraida, who previously served in ministerial positions, has been navigating legal proceedings in recent months. The Federal Court's decision will clarify the appellate court's position on the reasonableness of such bail conditions in cases of this nature.
The case continues to draw attention as a test of the judicial system's approach to bond requirements in high-profile matters involving former political figures.
