Former prime minister Najib Razak with his lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah at the Federal Court in Putrajaya today.
PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court today dismissed Najib Razak’s final appeal to adjourn his 1MDB trial, scheduled to begin on Aug 19, pending the ongoing SRC International Sdn Bhd case. Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat, who led a five-member bench, said High Court judge Collin Lawrence Sequerah had used his discretion correctly in refusing a delay of the 1MDB trial.
“The judge did not commit any error in exercising his judicial discretion under Section 259 of the Criminal Procedure Code. There is no reason for appellate intervention,” she said of the unanimous ruling.“However, parties can ask for direction from the judge when they appear on Aug 19,” she said. Also on the bench were Chief Judge of Malaya Azahar Mohamed, Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak David Wong Dak Wah, and Federal Court judges Rohana Yusof and Idrus Harun.
