Parties in Rosmah’s appeal ordered to file submissions on issue of jurisdiction
The prosecution and defence teams are ordered to file further submissions as to whether the Court of Appeal has the jurisdiction to hear two appeals by Rosmah Mansor on the removal of High Court judge Mohamed Zaini Mazlan from presiding over her money-laundering and tax evasion case. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, November 22, 2022.
A three-member bench led by Court of Appeal judge Hanipah Farikullah said the panel had read the written submissions filed by both parties and the court was of the view that there is a preliminary point on the jurisdiction issue that should be heard first. Section 3 of Coja states that the term “decision” means judgment, sentence or order made by the High Court, but does not include any ruling made in the course of a trial or hearing of any cause or matter, which does not finally dispose of the rights of the parties.
In her recusal application, Rosmah, among others, stated that the reason is to avoid any possibility of Zaini being prejudiced and biased against her if he presided over the money-laundering case, given that he had presided over her solar hybrid graft trial, related to rural schools in Sarawak.
