Justice Datuk Wira Kamaludin Md Said, who led the bench, ruled that her testimony on Tuesday will not prejudice her and should continue at the High Court.
Justice Ahmad Shahrir in his decision to grant the acquittal said the learned deputy public prosecutor (DPP) applied not to continue prosecuting the accused, and he confirmed that former deputy finance minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Mwould not be made to face the same charges
On Sept 24, High Court Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan dismissed Rosmah's application to declare the trial a nullity and found Sri Ram's appointment to prosecute her was proper.
"Kenari Maluri would endeavour its best to reach a settlement with the Malaysian government on behalf of the majority shareholders of Semantan Estate by the end of this year,” Ng said.
A three-member bench unanimously ruled that these police statements used in the criminal trial are not privileged documents which should have been kept away from the public for civil cases.
“Following that (case management), Justice Zaini fixed Jan 7 [next year] as another case management [date], pending the decision on the [RM42 million] SRC case [in the Court of Appeal].”
Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah also said Sri Ram's appointment should have been made under Section 379 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) first and not only under Section 376(3).
The date was fixed by Federal Court deputy registrar Rasidah Roslee during case management today.
Judicial Commissioner Ong Chee Kwan, who granted the extension, also fixed Nov 25 to hear the group’s sanction application to approve a scheme of arrangement.
“In his meeting with Najib, Shafee also informed the then prime minister that he needed RM9.5 million to purchase the Bukit Tunku home. Shafee told me that Najib had asked him (Shafee) to take the RM9.5 million first via two cheques of RM4.3 million and RM5.2 million. The RM9.5 million, Shafee said, was as a loan until Najib comes up with a rationalisation [for the payment],” said one of the witnesses.
