KALIAMAH RAJAN & ORS v.
SUPRITENDAN WOOI KOOI CHEANG, KETUA POLIS DAERAH TAMPIN, NEGERI SEMBILAN & ORS [2022] 4 CLJ 789
HIGH COURT MALAYA, KUALA LUMPUR
JOHN LEE KIEN HOW JC
[ORIGINATING SUMMONS NO: WA-24NCVC-168-01-2021]
08 MARCH 2022

The Malaysian Federal Constitution, unlike the Constitution in other countries, is written and requires strict compliance of the provisions contained therein. In the absence of any provision spelling out for compensation in the event of a violation of constitutional rights, any attempt by the courts in awarding such compensation under the Federal Constitution is tantamount to unauthorised judicial legislation and constitutes a breach of the doctrine of separation of powers; it follows that the claim for compensation pursuant to art. 5 of the Federal Constitution by the dependants of the deceased who died in police custody in this case must, of necessity, fail.

CIVIL PROCEDURE: Action - Res judicata - Damages due to death in police custody - Claim by dependants of deceased under art. 5 of Federal Constitution for compensation for violation of constitutional right - Earlier suit dismissed pursuant to s. 2 of Public Authorities Protection Act 1948 - Whether issues raised similar to issues in earlier suit - Whether issues already determined and decided in earlier suit - Whether claim barred by principle of res judicata

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: Constitutional rights - Personal liberty - Damages due to death in police custody - Claim by dependants of deceased under art. 5 of Federal Constitution (`FC') for compensation for violation of constitutional right - Whether remedy provided under FC - Whether action within confines of ss. 7 and 8 of Civil Law Act 1956 and s. 2 of Public Authorities Protection Act 1948 - Whether to allow application would tantamount to unauthorised judicial legislation - Whether dependants established relevancy of claim to violation of rights

LIMITATION: Public Authorities Protection Act 1948 (`PAPA`) - Claim against public authority - Death in police custody - Claim by dependants of deceased under art. 5 of Federal Constitution for compensation for violation of constitutional right - Whether claim bound by PAPA - Whether claim barred by 36-months limitation

The Computerised Land Registration System should mirror the ownership of original title as provided under para. 8 of the Fourteenth Schedule of the National Land Code. Where the computerised title is void ab initio, no good title passes in subsequent transaction. In this case, the wrongful act of the land officials in the exercise of their statutory duty deprived the registered proprietor of the ownership to his property. Consequently, the subsequent transaction pertaining to the title was rendered invalid.

In the absence of jurisdiction conferred on the criminal court to deal with declaratory reliefs, the criminal court has no power to grant the declaratory reliefs sought, which is a civil remedy. A criminal court cannot be equated with a civil court for the purpose of exercising power relating to grant of declaration; hence the applicant ought to have moved the civil court for the appropriate remedy and not resort to criminal proceedings for the relief sought.

Banks are highly regulated for obvious and incontrovertible reasons but, within the core for the need to regulate such financial institutions, is the indispensable necessity for uncompromising integrity. Consonant with this essential ingredient of integrity is a requirement, not only for integrity in the system in which financial institutions operate, but also in the personnel who man the system, namely the employees. Vested with responsibilities and duties, an employee is in a position within the financial industry that could not afford to brook any shortcoming in integrity.

    YOU PRACTICALLY COMPLETE ME:
    PRACTICAL COMPLETION UNDER UNDEFINED CIRCUMSTANCES*

    by
    Sua Shiang - Nian**

    Introduction

    In the construction industry, practical completion marks one of the most important milestones in the construction contract. Generally, upon practical completion, a series of rights and obligations under the contract are triggered as a result. It is common to see that upon the issuance of the Certificate of Practical Completion, the site possession is handed over from the contractor to the employer, the first moiety of the retention sum is released, the contractor's liability to pay Liquidated Ascertained Damages ends, and the commencement of the Defects Liability Period occurs. This is by no means an exhaustive list and various other rights and obligations can equally become the focal topic at issue. Thus, it is no coincidence that whether practical completion exists or not is often a hotbed of a dispute by parties under a construction contract.

    This article will explore the meaning of practical completion where the construction contract is silent on the matter and therefore, its meaning and scope are left to the courts to determine.

    TASARRUF FUDHULI IN ISLAMIC FINANCE*

    by
    Mohammad Mahbubi Ali

    The notion of tasarruf fudhuli (disposition of unauthorised agency, hereafter referred to as 'unauthorised agency') in Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) has invoked an ongoing debate among shariah scholars and Muslim economists alike. Some perceive its application in IFIs as a violation of the general axiom of wealth protection that prohibits the encroachment of another's property as an important aspect of the protection of lawfully-owned property. On the other hand, many assert that the ratification feature under the concept attracts product innovation and offers flexibility to IFIs to rectify transactions involving the issue of unauthorised agency.

    Classical Muslim jurists held diametrically opposed views on the legitimacy of unauthorised agents. The Hanbali school and the renewed fatwa of the Shafi'i school (qawl jadid) held that unauthorised agency is null and void. However, the Hanafis and Malikis consider it valid, its effectiveness only suspended (mawquf) contingent upon ratification by the person for whom the contract is intended. Once ratification occurs, the act becomes conclusively valid and all the legal effects that the shariah has assigned to it are established.

    THE RECENT CONTROVERSY AROUSED IN INDIA ABOUT WEARING HIJAB IN THE CLASSROOM: A BRIEF LEGAL OVERVIEW

    by
    Nehaluddin Ahmad

    ABSTRACT

    Wearing a hijab is a personal, voluntary choice of Muslim women of their own free will, motivated by personal piety of being identified as a Muslim. Muslim women should not be deprived of wearing the hijab, as this will impede their fundamental rights to manifest their religion and constitute indirect discrimination on the grounds of religion where everyone should be treated equally before the law, regardless of their gender, religion, race, color of their skin or language. Muslim women's freedom to wear the hijab is enshrined in numerous human rights provisions recognized by several international legal instruments and fundamental rights in countries' constitutions as the freedom to practice one's religion. According to Articles 14, 25, and 25(1) of the Indian Constitution, there is freedom of conscience and the right to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion. This paper aims to investigate the position of the hijab worn by Indian Muslim women and controversies raised during the present time.
