KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here today dismissed an application by former attorney general (AG) Tan Sri Tommy Thomas to recuse Judge Roz Mawar Rozain from hearing the defamation suit filed by Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad against him and three others over alleged malicious prosecution.
In making the decision, Judge Roz Mawar said an unhealthy trend had emerged of litigants seeking to recuse judges from hearing their cases which is capable of eroding public confidence in the judicial arm of the state.
