KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has dismissed National Feedlot Corporation executive chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail's (pic) appeal to strike out two CBT charges.
Justice Mohd Azman Husin ruled on Thursday that the charges were in order and in no way defective, and that there were issues that ought to be heard in a trial.
He ordered that the case return to the Sessions Court to be heard in full.
However, Mohamad Salleh's lawyer Al Firdaus Shahrul applied for a stay pending appeal to the Court of Appeal.
DPP Syed Faisal Syed Amir did not raise objection, thus, the stay against the Sessions trial was allowed.
On March 12, 2012, Dr Mohamad Salleh, in his capacity as NFCorp director, was charged with CBT amounting to RM9.7mil to fund part purchase of two units of condominium here and transferring RM40mil into the account of National Meat & Livestock Corporation, which he owns with one of his sons.
He is said to have committed the first offence at the CIMB Islamic Bank branch in Taman Tun Dr Ismail here between Dec 1 and Dec 4, 2009 and the second offence between May 6 and Nov 16, 2009.
