Rozaidi bin Ramli v Pendakwa Raya
Rozaidi bin Ramli was charged with four counts of drug possession under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. The Magistrate initially acquitted him, but the prosecution appealed, and the High Court ordered a defense hearing. The Magistrate later convicted Rozaidi, sentencing him to imprisonment and caning. Rozaidi appealed, arguing procedural errors and insufficient evidence. The High Court allowed the appeal, overturning the conviction and sentence due to prejudicial findings and improper evaluation of the defense evidence.
