Kuala Lumpur: The High Court today admitted two affidavits into evidence, including one by Najib Razak, in the former prime minister’s attempt to compel the authorities to allow him to serve the remainder of his jail term under house arrest.

Also allowed into evidence was an affidavit filed late last month by Umno vice-president Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail in support of Najib’s application.As a result, Justice Amarjeet Singh, who was supposed to rule today whether to grant Najib leave to commence judicial review proceedings, rescheduled his decision to July 3.

However, the Pahang menteri besar said he did not have a copy of the document in his possession as it was a classified document which had yet to be executed. Zahid filed an affidavit on April 7 in support of Najib’s leave application, stating that he had sighted a copy of the addendum order on Tengku Zafrul’s mobile phone during their meeting.

In his application filed on April 1, Najib claimed that Al-Sultan Abdullah had issued the supplementary decree during a meeting of the Federal Territories Pardons Board on Jan 29, one day before his term as king ended.
