On the court record
Ahmad Nizam bin Mohamed's reported practice is in criminal defence, running from drug prosecutions through cheating and forgery, and spanning the High Court and the Court of Appeal. The judgments are largely in Bahasa Malaysia, and he acts for accused persons and applicants.
In one High Court matter he acted for the accused on a charge of trafficking under "seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952" (section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952), where, on the representations made, the prosecution offered a first alternative charge under section 39A(2); the accused was sentenced to six years and six months' imprisonment from the date of arrest and ten strokes of the cane ("pemenjaraan selama 6 tahun 6 bulan bermula dari tarikh tertuduh ditangkap dan 10 sebatan").
He also appears in criminal revision. Acting for an applicant on a judicial revision ("Semakan Kehakiman") of a conviction for cheating under "seksyen 420 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 420 of the Penal Code), where the accused had pleaded guilty and been sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and light whipping, the argument concerned the magistrate's reminder that the punishment was mandatory imprisonment with at least one stroke of light caning.
His appellate work includes related Court of Appeal appeals against forgery convictions under sections 464, 465 and 471 of the Penal Code, in a prosecution brought by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission. In those appeals, in which he acted for the appellant, a central argument was whether the alternative charge was defective for failing to specify the date of the offence, engaging section 153 of the Criminal Procedure Code and the meaning of "dishonestly" and "reason to believe" under sections 24 and 26 of the Penal Code. The practice is criminal defence across drugs, cheating and forgery, at trial, on revision and on appeal, and the recurring concern is whether the charge is valid and the sentence lawful.
