Haziq Aziz appears in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (3) and MYCOA (1).
On the court record
The firm's record illustrates how the courts scrutinise executive detention under the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985 through the writ of habeas corpus, testing compliance with the statute's procedural safeguards.
Haziq Aziz appears in the corpus as counsel in criminal and preventive-detention litigation, argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan), and conducted substantially in Bahasa Malaysia.
A distinctive strand of the firm's work is the writ of habeas corpus challenging detention under preventive-detention legislation. Acting for applicants, the firm appeared where the court examined a detention ordered by the Deputy Minister of Home Affairs under seksyen 6(1) Akta Dadah Berbahaya (Langkah-Langkah Pencegahan Khas) 1985 (section 6(1) of the Dangerous Drugs (Special Preventive Measures) Act 1985). The grounds advanced included a breach of the rules of natural justice (keadilan asasi) in the preparation of the investigating officer's complete report under section 3(3), a delay in submitting the mandatory report to the Minister under section 5(4), and non-compliance with section 6(1), the judgment noting the applicant's challenge to the credibility of a denial made on affidavit that a detention form had been served.
On the criminal side the firm acted for the accused at first instance in a matter where the court cautioned on the treatment of a wife as an interested witness for an accused husband, and considered whether the absence of impeachment was fatal and whether the defence case had been sufficiently put to the prosecution witnesses. The firm also appeared for an appellant before the Court of Appeal in an appeal against a conviction for trafficking in methamphetamine under section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, where the accused had failed to rebut the presumption of trafficking, the court holding the conviction safe and dismissing the appeal.
The firm's record is a criminal and public-law liberty practice, engaging both the substantive law of dangerous drugs and the procedural safeguards that govern executive detention, and it reflects a chambers accustomed to testing the lawfulness of the state's deprivation of a person's liberty.
