Abdul Wahab bin Mohamed

On the judicial record

A cross-section of a High Court hearing serious crime under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and Penal Code alongside a varied civil list of contract, tort, garnishee enforcement and land disputes.

Abdul Wahab bin Mohamed sits in the High Court, and this collection blends criminal and civil work, with judgments in both English and Bahasa Malaysia. On the criminal side the docket is dominated by drug prosecutions framed as undang-undang jenayah: pengedaran dadah (criminal law: drug trafficking) under seksyen 39B Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (section 39B of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952), including a prosecution appeal against an order acquitting one of two co-accused. Criminal appeals recur, among them a rayuan jenayah (criminal appeal) by an accused against conviction and sentence for an offence under section 39A(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952. A murder matter under seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan (section 302 of the Penal Code) resolved on a plea of guilty to the alternative charge under section 304(a) of the Penal Code. An unusual criminal application sought an order of committal for contempt against the Public Prosecutor. The civil half of the docket is broad. Contract and tort questions arise together, including a claim over the existence of a contract and the breach of a contractual or tortious non-delegable duty. Civil procedure features through applications arising on the death of a defendant, seeking the appointment of a representative to continue proceedings, and through a dispute over the recalculation and validity of maintenance and service charges. Family-law enforcement appears through garnishee proceedings — a garnishee order nisi made absolute — and the scope and purpose of Order 49 of the Rules of Court 2012. Land matters round out the range. The judgments identify the governing provision, whether of the Penal Code, the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 or the Rules of Court 2012, and apply it to the facts, glossing the Malay terms of art as they appear. Accused persons and private litigants are referred to by role; corporate and institutional parties are named. The collection is a useful cross-section of a High Court that hears serious crime alongside a varied civil list.
