Court rejects 1MDB’s bid to transfer Arul Kanda, Irwan’s US$6.5bil case to another judge

KUALA LUMPUR: 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) on Tuesday (April 16) failed in its bid to transfer its US$6.59bil suit against its former chief executive officer Arul Kanda Kandasamy and former chairman Tan Sri Mohd Irwan Serigar Abdullah to be heard before another judge.

This was after High Court Judicial Commissioner (JC) Datuk Raja Ahmad Mohzanuddin Shah Raja Mohzan dismissed the application and ordered the company to pay costs of RM4,000 each to Arul Kanda and Mohd Irwan.
