PUTRAJAYA - Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor has failed in her final bid to recuse the trial judge, Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, from presiding over her graft case.
The Federal Court here, on Tuesday (March 3), unanimously dismissed Rosmah's appeal on the grounds that there was no appealable error that warranted the apex court's intervention.
Justice Mohamed Zaini had convicted Rosmah in her graft trial involving a RM1.25 billion solar hybrid project in Sarawak.
A three-judge panel, chaired by Justice Nordin Hassan, also found that Justice Mohamed Zaini, who is now a Court of Appeal judge, did not violate the Judges Code of Ethics following the controversy of a leaked draft judgment that was prepared by the Kuala Lumpur High Court's research unit prior to him delivering his decision in Rosmah's case on Sept 1, 2022. -THE STAR
