KUALA LUMPUR – Datuk Seri Najib Razak has to complete his imprisonment at the Kajang Prison following the High Court’s decision that dismissed his judicial review on his bid to serve his sentence under house arrest.
Justice Alice Loke, in her decision, said while the existence of the addendum order no longer became an issue, the order itself was not deliberated nor decided at the 61st Pardons Board meeting, held on Jan 29, 2024.

She said the addendum order did not comply with Article 42 of the Federal Constitution, and consequently became invalid.
“Conversely, the applicant has no right to the relief of mandamus. The judicial review is therefore dismissed,” Justice Loke said here on Monday.
The court did not make any order as to cost.
