In a 2-1 majority decision read by Justice Suraya Othman, the appellate court was of the view that the appellant’s defence in the case was not a mere invention.
The majority decision also found that there was a non-direction and misdirection by the learned trial judge, Justice Mohamed Zaini Mazlan, in the case.
