PUTRAJAYA : Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak failed in his appeal to disqualify former Federal Court judge Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram as lead prosecutor in his 1Malaysia Development Bhd cases.
In delivering the decision, Justice Zabariah said the court allowed the prosecution's preliminary objection to strike out Najib's appeal. She said since Sri Ram's letter of appointment was shown to Najib's counsel, hence the court did not see the basis of his application for the production of the letter of appointment.
Zabariah said there was also no evidence to show that Sri Ram was involved in the investigation against Najib apart from the bare allegation made by him .
