KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has denied a request by Datuk Seri Najib Razak to postpone his 1Malaysia Development Bhd-linked trial involving allegations of audit report tampering over an affidavit filed by former attorney general Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali, which implicated the case's lead prosecutor, Datuk Seri Gopal Sri Ram.
Najib had filed an application to disqualify Sri Ram from leading the prosecution last Friday (June 12) with lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah arguing that this matter should be heard before the trial, also known as the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) trial, could proceed.
