KUALA LUMPUR: Former Felda chairman Tan Sri Shahrir Ab Samad (pic), who is facing a charge of failing to declare to the Inland Revenue Board (IRB) RM1mil received from former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has applied to disqualify a High Court judge from presiding over his bid to transfer the case from the Sessions Court to the High Court. Lawyer Datuk Firoz Hussein Ahmad Jamaluddin told Justice Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali yesterday that he had filed the application. Based on the affidavit filed on Dec 17, Shahrir applied to the court for an order for Justice Mohd Nazlan to recuse himself from hearing the matter and for it to be transferred to another High Court as “there is a real possibility of bias”.
