PUTRAJAYA, Feb 3 — The Federal Court nine-member bench wants the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC) to put in further submissions on several issues in the appeals by four individuals who have raised the issue on the constitutionality of the mandatory death sentence.
Court of Appeal President Datuk Rohana Yusuf who led the bench said the court took note that the appeals concern constitutional questions of great importance and despite the AGC’s stand, the court needs a further argument, particularly from the AGC, on constitutional issues.
She said the issues included whether sentencing was purely a judicial power, on Article 5 of the Federal Constitution pertaining to a fair trial, Article 8 of the Federal Constitution on proportionality and Article 162 of the Federal Constitution on implication and modification of pre-Merdeka law.
