PUTRAJAYA, April 4 — A jobless man will remain in jail for four years for outraging the modesty of a secondary school student five years ago.
Since his case originated from the Magistrate’s Court, Muhammad Hafizan, 26, is required to first obtain leave before he can be allowed to pursue his appeal in the Court of Appeal under Section 50 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964. Muhammad Hafizan was found guilty and sentenced to four years in jail by the Magistrate’s Court on December 9, 2020 for molesting the girl who was then 14 years old.
However, deputy public prosecutor Khairul Aisamuddin Abdul Rahman urged the court to disallow Muhammad Hafizan’s leave application saying that there were no legal questions raised by him.
