Senior lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah today failed to remove the presiding panel member in the Advocates and Solicitors Disciplinary Board (ASDB), which is hearing a case against him following a complaint filed by jailed former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

Shafee was seeking to recuse Vijay Kumar Natarajan, a senior lawyer, who is the chairperson of the disciplinary proceeding with two other members.
