PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has fixed August 11 to hear Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak's appeal to get leave to commence a legal challenge over the Prisons Department’s refusal to allow his request to attend Parliament sittings.
The appeal is also fixed on July 28, for another case management.
On Oct 27, last year, the High Court in Kuala Lumpur dismissed the former prime minister's application to obtain leave to commence a judicial review to challenge the Prisons Department's refusal to allow his request to attend Parliament sittings. The High Court judge also said that unless and until pardon is given or Najib's conviction is quashed upon review, there is no possibility that he will again be a MP, adding that the law prohibits any convicted person from contest in an election.
He is seeking for a certiorari order to quash the decision of the Commissioner-General of Prisons to not allow him access to his officers/aides for the purposes of parliamentary, legislative and constituency work.
