On the court record
Aliff Bolkin appears in the reported corpus as criminal-defence counsel in the gravest offences, appearing as counsel for the accused and appellant before the High Court and Court of Appeal. A cluster of Court of Appeal appeals concerns culpable homicide not amounting to murder under section 304(a) of the Penal Code read with section 34, where the reported catchwords trace the investigation from the discovery of the deceased, the arrival of the investigating officer and forensics, the post-mortem, the arrests and the identification of the deceased, in a matter carrying a public-interest dimension.
His reported work also includes the defence of a capital drug charge. In a High Court matter argued on a judgment in Bahasa Malaysia, the accused was found guilty on a charge under seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta Dadah Berbahaya 1952 (section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952), punishable under section 39B(2), and the court's catchwords record the sentence in its own words: the accused was dijatuhkan hukuman gantung di leher sehingga mati (sentenced to death by hanging) as prescribed under the Act. Appearing for the defence, his reported work engages the proof of the elements of homicide — the cause of death, the identification of the deceased and the chain of investigation — and the defence of a trafficking charge carrying the ultimate penalty. Across these reported decisions his work is concentrated in the defence of the most serious offences against the person and under the drug legislation, marking Aliff Bolkin as counsel engaged in capital and near-capital criminal defence, where the stakes for the accused are at their highest and the scrutiny of the prosecution's proof correspondingly close. The reported matters, concentrated in homicide and a capital drug charge, place him among counsel who defend where the consequences for the accused are most severe, and where the burden on the prosecution to prove every element beyond reasonable doubt is subjected to the closest scrutiny on the accused's behalf.
