05(RJ)-9-11/2024(P) (Mahkamah Persekutuan)

The Court held that the Pardons Board exclusively retains the power to reconsider the commencement date of imprisonment and such decisions are not justiciable; consequently respondents must pursue fresh petitions under Regulations 54 and 113 of the Prison Regulations 2000 rather than judicial alteration of commencement dates.

AA-62RS-35-08/2023 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

The court held that the two robberies were distinct offences committed on different dates and at different places; s292(1) CPC permits a sentence to commence at the expiration of an existing sentence, and relevant precedents support consecutive sentences for distinct offences; the one transaction rule did not apply, therefore the sentence in AA-62RS-35-08/2023 was ordered to run consecutively with AA-62RS-37-08/2023.
