Legality of Sri Ram’s appointment to be heard at High Court

: The applications by Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak and lawyer Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah to challenge the legality of the appointment of former Federal Court judge Datuk Seri Gopal Sri RamThis was after the Federal Court today dismissed the application for leave to appeal filed by Attorney General’s Chambers against the Court of Appeal decision which granted Najib and Muhammad Shafee leave for a judicial review to challenge Sri Ram’s appointment.

“Therefore, the issue of res judicata and abuse of court process does not arise,” said Justice Tengku Maimun who presided over the case with Federal Court judges Datuk Mohd Zawawi Salleh and Tan Sri Idrus Harun. The case is scheduled to be heard on the substantive merits on Oct 25 before Kuala Lumpur High Court Judge Datuk Seri Mariana Yahya.

Najib and Muhammad Shafee had, separately, filed for the judicial review in December last year to challenge the Attorney-General’s decision to appoint Sri Ram as a deputy public prosecutor under Section 376 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
