Repco Low’s appeal on conflicting versions of notes of proceedings dismissed | Malay Mail

Monday, 12 Oct 2020 04:53 PM MYT

A three-member bench of the Court of Appeal, led by Federal Court Judge Datuk Rhodzariah Bujang, unanimously dismissed Low’s appeal. The other two are Justices Datuk Has Zanah Mehat and Datuk Abu Bakar Jais. He then appealed against the conviction and sentence at the High Court, which had fixed this October 30 to hear it.

Muhammad Shafee further submitted that about six months later, a second and separate set of notes of proceedings were provided by the Sessions Court, which were later agreed by both parties to be used for the purpose of preparing written submissions . “The appellant had endured this prosecution for at least 20 years and to order a retrial would, in all probability, cause extreme delay and expense as the allegation against him happened almost 20 years ago, and, there would be practical difficulties in terms of the recollection by the witnesses of what had transpired at that time,” he added.
