Court rules Najib has no right to demand Sri Ram’s appointment letter, application dismissed

“The court does not find any basis that would lead a reasonably informed member of the public to conclude that the applicant would not be accorded a fair trial if Sri Ram is involved in the prosecution,” the judge said. “The attorney general has himself stated in this court that Sri Ram was appointed pursuant to Section 376 Criminal Procedure Code , it can be taken that Sri Ram has the imprimatur of the AG to prosecute these cases.

Muhammad Shafee who was representing Najib requested the trial of 1MDB cases to be stayed as the defence would be filing an appeal against today’s decision.However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib objected to Najib’s applicatiobn for a stay order, saying that an appeal did not warrant reason to ask that the trial should be postponed.
