Najib deprived of fair hearing during SRC International case appeal, says lawyer


PUTRAJAYA: Former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's defence team has said they were deprived of a fair hearing in the SRC International Sdn Bhd appeal as the Court of Appeal had badly mistreated them during the proceedings last year.

Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah - who is submitting in an appeal at the Federal Court relating to Najib's application to adduce new evidence in his SRC International appeal - said the panel of three appellate court judges chaired by Justice Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil had "prejudged" the defence team as they requested for an adjournment due to a misfortune involving Covid-19.
