High Court fixes June 14, 2027 for Bar bid to revive Zahid graft case

The High Court has set June 14, 2027, for the case management of the Malaysian Bar's judicial review application that challenges the prosecution's decision to discontinue the Yayasan Akalbudi corruption case involving Deputy Prime Minister Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. The court requested the hearing to be held after the Federal Court appeal proceedings are concluded, as the Malaysian Bar and the Attorney-General obtained leave from the Federal Court on October 8 to appeal against an earlier Court of Appeal ruling.

Federal counsel Safiyyah Omar agreed to the proposal, while Ahmad Zahid's lawyer raised no objection. The Malaysian Bar seeks a High Court declaration declaring the High Court judge's decision to grant Ahmad Zahid a discharge not amounting to an acquittal (DNAA) null and void.
