Hasbullah bin Salleh v Peguam Negara Malaysia & Kerajaan Malaysia

The applicant, Hasbullah bin Salleh, sought judicial review of the Attorney General's decision to charge a kindergarten teacher under Section 323 of the Penal Code instead of Section 31(1) of the Child Act 2001, as the victim was a 16-month-old child. The High Court of Temerloh, Pahang, dismissed the application, finding no prima facie evidence that the Attorney General's decision was unlawful. The court emphasized the quasi-judicial nature of the Attorney General's discretion under Article 145(3) of the Federal Constitution.
