Procedural Posture

Judicial Review (semakan Kehakiman) / High Court Decision

  1. 1 Whether the Police Disciplinary Board's decision to dismiss was lawful given concurrent challenges to detention orders under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985
  2. 2 Whether an irregularity in detention under s.3 affects validity of a preventive detention/order under s.6(3) relied upon for disciplinary action
  3. 3 Whether applicant was denied natural justice (opportunity to be heard) by not being given oral hearing or required documents

Ratio Decidendi

The High Court held the Police Disciplinary Board's dismissal decision was lawful: the s.6(3) restriction order dated 29.09.2022 remained valid and supported the disciplinary process (Mohd Faizal Haris); any irregularity in s.3 detention did not nullify the s.6 basis; the applicant was not denied natural justice as written representations suffice in disciplinary context (Tay Chai Huat); the court will not substitute its view on penalty; therefore the judicial review was dismissed with costs RM2,000.
