BC-62JSK-139-08/2022 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

The prosecution established all elements of Section 14(a) by credible, consistent testimony of the child victim corroborated by parents and police report; the accused's persistent denial and testimony of interested family members did not create a reasonable doubt; conviction under S14(a) and consequent sentence were therefore justified.

BA-42H-1-01/2019 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The High Court held the trial judge correctly found a prima facie case and properly assessed the evidence: discrepancies identified were immaterial or satisfactorily explained, identification by the victims was reliable given proximity and subsequent identifications, recovery of property was corroborative though not essential, and the elements of robbery under sections 395/397 were proven; therefore the convictions and sentences were safe and must be affirmed.
