“We are of the opinion that we should have a solid decision or final decision by the Federal Court on the first issue,” he said, after noting that the apex court’s ruling would be helpful for the appeal. Deputy public prosecutor Ahmad Akram Gharib did not object to the request for deferment, based on the same reason that the Federal Court decision may affect the arguments presented in this appeal.
Zabariah repeatedly told Najib’s lawyers not to seek an adjournment for his ongoing trial in a separate matter in the High Court that was also scheduled for April 23, and obtained confirmation from the prosecution that Najib would be excused from the Court of Appeal so that he may attend trial in the High Court on that day.
On March 1, the High Court dismissed Najib’s bid to disqualify Sri Ram as his prosecutor, finding that there was no evidence to show Sri Ram would be biased or that Najib would be denied a fair trial.
