Santamil Selvi and her three children, Kishen, Menaga and Reeshi, had filed the suit in June last year naming Najib, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Najib's younger brothers Datuk Ahmad Johari Abdul Razak, Datuk Mohd Nazim Abdul Razak, lawyer Tan Sri Cecil Abraham and his son Sunil Abraham, commissioner for oaths Zainal Abidin Muhayat, Deepak and lawyer M. Arunapalam as defendants.

The three-member panel chaired by Tan Sri Md Raus Shariff, Tan Sri Ahmad Maarop and Ramli Ali unanimously dismissed the claim and ordered RM60,000 to be paid to the respondents.

“The reason advanced by cousel (for Santamil) is insufficient for us to use our discretion to allow the amendment,” said Justice Raus.

However, lawyers acting for Nazim declined to seek cost.

Counsel Datuk Hafarizam Harun, who appeared for Najib and Rosmah, said the federal court finally decided and therefore the matter should be put to rest.

“At the court of appeal they filed one notice of appeal for all eight orders when they should file eight notices of appeal,” Hafarizam told reporters.
