PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A High Court judge was recused from hearing the corruption trial of former Federal Territories minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor as there is a danger he could be biased, the Court of Appeal held Monday (May 18).

In a 14-page written judgement dated May 15, Justice Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang said High Court judge Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali might be biased despite his declaration that he would not be prejudiced against Tengku Adnan after presiding over the case of businessman, Datuk Tan Eng Boon.
