Three-member Court of Appeal panel chaired by Justice Ahmad Nasfy Yasin said Sanjeevan 38, who was denied an impartial trial, which resulted in a wrongful miscarriage of justice.
The reason for this is that the prosecution was not able to invite seven witnesses present at the scene to give evidence, nor were they provided to Sanjeevan after he was compelled to defend himself,report by slot machine online.
The verdict is unjust and must be struck down as the judge stated. Nasfy who was sitting with justices Ahmad Zaidi Zainal and Mariana Yahya, said the High Court also erred when ruling in favor of a magistrate, who incorrectly placed a heavier burden of evidence on Sanjeevan.
