JB-42LB(A)-2-04/2025 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court allowed the appeal, finding the Sessions Court erred in law and fact by misapplying s114(g) and failing to properly assess the prosecution evidence; the victim's clear uncorroborated testimony was admissible and sufficient under ss17-18 SOACA 2017 to establish touching for sexual purposes, warranting conviction under s14(a); appellate intervention was justified due to errors in the Sessions Court's reasoning.

AA-41S(A)-2-03/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court allowed the appeal because unexplained discrepancy in the identity of the urine sample (difference in number of seals) and non‑compliance with IGSO F103 and KKM Guidelines (which the court held to have force of law) created reasonable doubt; consequently the prosecution failed to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt and the conviction and sentence were unsafe and set aside.
