PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah have filed an application to introduce new evidence in their appeals to disqualify former Federal Court Judge Gopal Sri Ram as deputy public prosecutor in their cases.

Shafee told the Court of Appeal's three-member bench Friday that they had filed the notice of motion on Thursday to seek leave to include Sri Ram's letter of appointment as new evidence in their appeals.

Justice Hasnah Mohammed Hashim, who chaired the bench Friday, then fixed Aug 26 for the hearing of the applications and appeals after allowing senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan's request for an adjournment. He said he would undertake to notify the court and Muhammad Shafee by Wednesday if there was no necessity to file the affidavit.Najib and Muhammad Shafee are appealing against the High Court's dismissal on Feb 20, of their application for leave for a judicial review to challenge Sri Ram's appointment as head of the prosecution team in their cases.
