PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has dismissed Najib Razak’s application to adduce fresh evidence in his final appeal to prove that judge Nazlan Ghazali was under a serious conflict of interests when presiding over the SRC International trial two years ago.
Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat said the application to adduce additional evidence did not fulfil the requirements of the law.

The other judges who heard Najib’s bid were Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim as well as Federal Court judges Nallini Pathmanathan, Mary Lim and Zabidin Mohd Diah.
In his application, Najib said Nazlan ought to have recused himself from presiding over the trial as he was involved in deliberations and decision-making involved in the lead up to the formation of SRC as a 1MDB subsidiary and the grant of loan and credit facilities for the benefit of SRC and 1MDB.
