Najib, Shafee vs Sri Ram - Wed decision on leave application

The Kuala Lumpur High Court will deliver its decision this Wednesday on separate leave applications by former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak and lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah for a judicial review to remove former Federal Court judge Gopal Sri Ram (above) from leading the prosecution of 1MDB-linked charges against them.

Senior federal counsel Shamsul Bolhassan said both parties had presented their arguments before Justice Azizah Nawawi in her chambers earlier today.
