KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has denied former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s request to initiate a judicial review over his claim of a royal order allowing house arrest during his jail sentence, citing hearsay in supporting affidavits.
Justice Amarjeet Singh ruled that four affidavits relied upon by Najib did not verify the material facts stated in his application for leave to commence a judicial review over the existence of an alleged royal supplementary order permitting his house arrest.
