PETALING JAYA: A businessman has been sent to Kajang prison after he failed to get the Shah Alam High Court to set aside his six-month jail term for using criminal force to stop a civil servant from discharging her duties.P Thiagarajan, better known as “Oms” Thiagarajan in corporate and political circles, began his jail term on Oct 28 after Justice Ab Karim AB Rahman refused him a stay of sentence.
Karim, who retired from the bench last Friday, also dismissed the prosecution’s appeal to enhance the sentence imposed by a magistrate last year.
Thiagarajan, 68, and another person still at large were charged with committing the offence at a car park in Section 25, Shah Alam, at about 12.30pm on June 6, 2017.
He is said to have acted in a manner which prevented Shah Alam City Council enforcement officer Rohana Bahari from carrying out her duties.
The offence, which is punishable under Section 353 of the Penal Code, carries a jail term of up to two years or with fine or both.
Thiagarajan’s defence was that he was not at the car park.
TODAY ANOTHER INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE TO A CITIZEN.
THE PERSON JAILED WAS NOT EVEN PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT.
THE JUDGE AS USUAL DOES NOT WANT TO LISTEN OR KNOW SIMPLY WANTS TO CLOSE THE CASE SO THAT HE CAN RETIRE QUICKLY. RUSH, RUSH, RUSH JOB
THIS IS THE KIND OF JUDGE WE HAVE IN MALAYSIA.
JUDGE WHO DOES NOT READ THE EVIDENCE AND CORRECT THE INVESTIGATION PROPERLY.
I AM SURE THE OFFICER WHO MAKE THE REPORT AND GOT THIS MAN IN JAIL SIMPLY DOES NOT LIKE THE FACE OF AN INDIAN.
WHY SENTENCE AN INNOCENT MAN TO JAIL?
