The High Court held the termination was lawful: the competent authority validly exercised its discretion under Reg 61(1)(n) PAT 2013 and the Perintah Majlis to dismiss on grounds 'in the interest of the service' due to the applicant being charged with criminal offences; Article 135 and the statutory framework exempt armed forces members from a prior hearing and detailed reasons are not required; absence of conviction and ongoing criminal proceedings did not render the decision unlawful; no procedural impropriety, illegality or irrationality was established.
