Facing the law: Rosmah arriving in court. — LOW BOON TAT/The Star

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has instructed the prosecution and the defence team to file further submissions in an appeal filed by Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, who sought to remove High Court judge Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan from presiding over her RM7mil money laundering and tax evasion case.

A three-judge panel chaired by Justice Hanipah Farikullah said the panel had gone through the written submissions filed by both parties, and it was of the view that there was a preliminary point on the jurisdiction issue that should be dealt with first.
