Najib to use former AG’s affidavit to challenge Sri Ram’s appointment
Monday, 29 Jun 2020 05:59 PM MYT
In the affidavit, Mohamed Apandi accused Sri Ram of trying to convince him to arrest Najib, who was the prime minister at that time, over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad scandal. “So the court has set July 6 for Sri Ram to reply to Mohamed Apandi’s affidavit and July 13 has been fixed for hearing,” he said after the matter came up before High Court Judge Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya in her chambers today.
The case was remitted to the High Court after the Federal Court on October 15, 2019 dismissed the AGC, Sri Ram and the government’s application for leave to appeal the appellate court’s decision that granted the duo permission to make the challenge. They are also seeking a declaration that there is a conflict of interest in Sri Ram’s appointment and request for an order to prohibit him from leading the prosecution team in all of their cases, including on corruption, abuse of power and money laundering.
