    KA-42R-1-03/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    The High Court dismissed the appeal and upheld convictions and sentences because the prosecution established a prima facie case: evidence (notably SP30 and other prosecution witnesses) proved Appellant 1 gave/posted forged documents and had knowledge of their contents and Appellant 2, as JPJ agent, used those documents to register vehicles; the offences under section 18 MACC Act 2009 are distinct for giver and agent and not a factual or legal impossibility, and the trial judge did not err nor fail to give adequate reasons.
