KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak will know whether he is allowed to review his conviction and sentence in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case on Friday (March 31).
The Federal Court is set to deliver its decision on Friday , a deadline that a five-judge panel gave itself in the former prime ministry's application for leave to review his conviction and sentence.
Other judges on the bench are Federal Court judges Justices Vernon Ong Lam Kiat, Rhodzariah Bujang, Nordin Hassan and Court of Appeal judge Justice Abu Bakar Jais. One of the points raised by Najib's team was the"fundamental failure of a fair trial", which Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah attributed to the previous Federal Court panel that"enforced" lawyer Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik to remain on board as Najib's lead counsel in the final appeal hearing.
Meanwhile, lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram told the Federal Court that Najib was complicit with his new counsel in seeking an adjournment during the final appeal despite knowing that the hearing dates had been fixed four months before.
