KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s lawyer is scheduled to appear before a High Court judge at 2.30pm today over a disputed order requiring the former prime minister to serve the remainder of his SRC International sentence under house arrest.
The matter is listed before judge Datuk Aslam Zainuddin at Criminal High Court 5 here.
Earlier today, the Attorney-General’s Chambers (A-GC) filed an application to rectify the Nov 6 discharge order, seeking a review and a fresh order in line with the conditional pardon granted by His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, on Sept 18.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki Mokhtar confirmed the filing when contacted.
The court issued the order after Umno paid Najib’s RM50 million fine on Nov 6. It directed his immediate release while requiring him to serve the balance of his sentence under house arrest until Aug 23, 2028.
