He named three parties as respondents in his lawsuit; the government, Home Affairs Ministry and Prison Commissioner General.
Jailed former premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak has filed a judicial review to challenge the Prisons Department’s decision not to allow him to attend the Dewan Rakyat sitting.
Three parties have been named as the respondents; the government, Home Affairs Ministry and the Prison Commissioner General. Najib said the decision not to allow him to attend the Dewan Rakyat sitting was conveyed to him at the Kajang Prison Office on 28 September.Najib said he filed the legal action due to the lack of response from the Ministry regarding his appeal.
“A denial of that right by the respondents in refusing me the ability to administer my constituency is in effect a denial of the wellbeing of the constituency of Pekan,” Najib stated in his affidavit.
