On the judicial record
Shows a judge engaging across homicide involving expert evidence under the Evidence Act 1950 and the Penal Code, the accountability of the authorities for a death in custody, and commercial banking, grounding each result in the evidence.
Gunalan a/l Muniandy appears in this collection sitting in the Court of Appeal and the High Court, and the docket combines serious crime with civil and commercial work. Criminal law features through a homicide appeal engaging the intention to kill under section 300 of the Penal Code and the treatment of expert opinion evidence under section 45(1) of the Evidence Act 1950, together with the taking of evidence under section 332 of the Criminal Procedure Code — a matter in which the medical and expert evidence bore directly on whether the necessary intention was established. Public accountability and liberty are engaged in a civil appeal arising from a death in custody, where the deceased had been detained for a total of twenty-four days and was never released from the time of his arrest, raising the liability of the detaining authorities. Banking and finance appear through a lender's dispute involving a state development corporation. The judgments identify the governing provision and apply it to the facts. Private individuals and accused persons are referred to by role; corporate, governmental and statutory parties are named. A recurring theme is the careful evaluation of evidence — expert opinion on the cause of death and the intention behind an act, the circumstances of a death in custody, the documents underlying a banking claim — as the foundation for the court's conclusion. Whether sitting at first instance or on appeal, the court asks whether the evidence supports the finding sought before it will make or uphold it, and it treats expert opinion not as conclusive but as evidence to be weighed against the rest of the record. The collection shows how a judge engages across homicide, the accountability of the authorities for a person who dies in custody, and commercial banking, applying to each the discipline of grounding the result in the evidence rather than in assertion.
