Apex court dismisses the attorney-general’s appeal to overturn the Court of Appeal’s ruling on Najib Razak's house arrest bid
Former prime minister Najib Razak, who was convicted of misappropriating RM42 million in SRC International funds, has been serving his sentence at Kajang prison since Aug 23, 2022.
PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Najib Razak will have his day in court in his attempt to compel the government to enforce a royal addendum allowing him to serve the remainder of his jail term under house arrest.
This follows today’s Federal Court ruling affirming the Jan 6 majority decision of the Court of Appeal, which allowed Najib to adduce additional evidence and ordered the High Court to hear his judicial review application.
The attorney-general had said that Najib did not have an arguable case warranting a substantive hearing.
MORE TO COME
