PUTRAJAYA: Former attorney general Tan Sri Tommy Thomas has successfully recused the High Court judge who presided over a defamation suit filed against him by Umno veteran Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad.
A three-judge panel of the Court of Appeal, chaired by Justice Supang Lian, allowed Thomas's appeal to recuse Justice Roz Mawar Rozain from hearing the case in its future proceedings.
