The Court of Appeal has dismissed Rosmah Mansor’s appeal for leave to commence a legal challenge to nullify a graft case against her linked to the RM1.25 billion solar hybrid energy project.
A three-person bench chaired by Hanipah Farikullah unanimously denied leave for the wife of incarcerated former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak to proceed with her judicial review that challenges the validity of the appointment of the solar case’s lead prosecutor, the late Gopal Sri Ram.
Today was set for the bench - which includes Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali and See Mee Chun - to deliver its decision on Rosmah’s appeal against the decision of the High Court (civil jurisdiction) of Kuala Lumpur on Aug 30 last year.
On Sept 1 last year, the High Court (criminal jurisdiction) in Kuala Lumpur convicted her in the graft case and sentenced her to 10 years of imprisonment and RM970 million fine.
However, she obtained a stay of execution against the sentencing, and her separate criminal appeal against this guilty verdict is set for hearing before the Court of Appeal on July 11 (the hearing was initially set in June before that date was vacated).
The Court of Appeal bench also ordered Rosmah to pay RM10,000 in costs to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
