Critics of referring Na'imah's legal questions to the Federal Court contend that it may lead to unnecessary delays in the judicial process. They argue that the High Court is fully capable of addressing the issues without escalating them, thereby avoiding prolonging the case and increasing legal costs.
Opponents also suggest that the referral could complicate the proceedings and generate precedent that may restrict the swift enforcement of anti-corruption laws. They emphasize the importance of timely justice and caution against judicial overreach that might hinder effective prosecution.
Some legal analysts believe that the questions posed do not warrant Federal Court intervention and can be managed at lower court levels, thus preserving judicial resources for more pressing constitutional matters.
