KUALA LUMPUR: The court has set Oct 19 to hear Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s application for judicial review over the Prisons Department's refusal to let him attend Parliament.
Earlier, Federal Counsel M. Kogilambigai asked the court for at least one week's time to study Najib's application for leave to seek judicial review.
Najib's counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, however, said the matter was urgent as it involved his client's rights to attend Parliament sittings. In the notice of application, the Pekan MP named the government, the Home Affairs Minister and the Commissioner-General of Prisons as the first, second and third respondents respectively.
