Naidu says the application was filed this morning.
He says they also received disclosures from FICAC this morning, but he has not had a chance to go through them.
Suva Magistrate Yogesh Prasad says it would be disrespectful for the Magistrates Court to continue with the trial while the High Court is considering the stay application.
The Magistrate has adjourned the trial to 2.30pm today to consider the issue of the stay application.
