The Federal Court has dismissed an application to review an earlier judgment made by Chief Justice Md Raus Sharif on the refusal to recuse himself from hearing an appeal over the decision by attorney-general Mohamed Apandi Ali to not prosecute Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak.

Court of Appeal president Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin said the apex court found no merit in the application made by former Umno member Khairuddin Abu Hassan and former law minister Zaid Ibrahim.

"We are of the view that the application does not fall within the principle and scope of Rule 137 of the Rules of the Federal Court," Justice Zulkefli said...
