Justice Ahmad had thrown out Najib's lawsuit on Nov 25 with RM12,000 in costs after allowing Thomas's striking out application. This was because the three causes of action Najib cited required an element that the four cases must have concluded in an acquittal. It also dispelled the notion that Thomas had a political and personal agenda against Najib when he preferred the charges, as Idrus was not appointed by Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s administration during the time of the Pakatan Harapan government, the judge added.
