KUALA LUMPUR, April 3 — A lawyer representing Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today the Federal Court’s dissenting judgment in refusing the former prime minister’s bid for it to review its ruling last year will be used to support his client’s bid for a royal pardon.
“Our pardon is exactly what Abdul Rahman said in his judgment. Our request for pardon is not because ‘I’m sorry, and therefore, I throw myself upon your mercy, no’. Muhammad Shafee said the King needed to make a comparison of the judgments because one senior judge had agreed with the defence’s contention.
Abdul Rahman, who was chairing the five-judge bench, was the only judge who dissented or disagreed with the majority., Abdul Rahman said Najib ought to be acquitted and discharged of all criminal charges since an injustice had taken place.
