KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 12 — The Malaysian Bar has filed a fresh legal action challenging the Federal Territories Pardons Board's decision allowing former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence in the SRC International Sdn Bhd case under house arrest.

The Bar filed the application for leave of judicial review on November 10 at the High Court here, naming the Federal Territories Pardons Board, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform), Director-General of Prisons and Najib as respondents.

The media obtained the documents yesterday. The application will be heard before Justice S. Indra Nehru today.

In the application, the Bar seeks a declaration that any proceedings or decision purportedly made under Articles 40 and 42 of the Federal Constitution is invalid in law and contradicts the Federal Constitution.
