A three-man panel, chaired by Justice Yaacob Sam, dismissed the Pekan MP's appeal on grounds that there was no appealable error by the High Court judge in dismissing Najib's application."The order of the High Court is affirmed," he said in a unanimous decision.Najib is appealing against the High Court's decision that dismissed his application to disqualify Sri Ram from leading the prosecution in four of his 1MDB-linked cases including the RM2.
The panel earlier heard submissions from both parties in an online proceeding via Zoom here on Wednesday. Muhammad Shafee said it was clear from the letter that Sri Ram, who was appointed as a senior deputy public prosecutor, was to"spearhead the investigation" on 1MDB and the prosecution of the personalities responsible for the fraud.Muhammad Shafee also raised the issue of bias as he referred to former AG Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali's affidavit that claimed Sri Ram had a pre-conceived view of Najib's guilt.
Meanwhile, Sri Ram submitted that there was no cogent evidence to show that he was involved in any investigation prior to the prosecution."I did not go down and take statements from witnesses, nor did I take any photographs, or go to the bank to seize documents, or go along and arrest the accused," he said.
This is one slow judge. Since 2018
