The Sessions Court has jurisdiction because Section 17 of the Offences Relating to Awards Act 2017 creates a federal offence when a scheduled State provision is contravened outside that State; omission of s17 from the charge was not fatal because the substantive offence and its elements were correctly and precisely pleaded under s3(1)(d) of the Pahang Enactment and s152(4) CPC is satisfied; the judge did not err in considering s17 sua sponte and the appeal is dismissed and the Sessions Court ruling affirmed.
