This follows the Court of Appeal’s decision on Feb 12 allowing Tengku Adnan’s appeal to disqualify Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali from hearing the case and ordering the case to be heard before another judge.
During case management Tuesday , Justice Mohd Nazlan said he had taken note of the appellate court’s decision.During the proceedings before Justice Muhammad Jamil, deputy public prosecutor Julia Ibrahim filed an application for a stay of proceedings pending the outcome of the prosecution’s appeal against the appellate court’s decision at the Federal Court.So far, two prosecution witnesses have testified before Justice Mohd Nazlan.
On Nov 15,2018, Tengku Adnan, 69, claimed trial to receiving RM1mil from businessman Datuk Tan Eng Boon through a cheque that was deposited into his CIMB Bank account, as an inducement to approve an application by Nucleus Properties Sdn Bhd to increase the industrial plot ratio of a piece of land on Jalan Semarak.On Sept 17 last year, Tan was fined RM1.5mil after he pleaded guilty to an alternative charge of abetting Tengku Adnan in receiving the RM1mil bribe.
Three days later, Justice Mohd Nazlan dismissed Tengku Adnan’s application for him to recuse himself from presiding the case. Tengku Adnan filed the application on the ground that the judge had read and considered the facts of the case of Tan. - Bernama
