Mohd Hadi Hakimi Bin Harun

On the court record

A broad serious-crime prosecution practice in the High Court, spanning drug trafficking, homicide and sexual offences.

Mohd Hadi Hakimi Bin Harun appears for the prosecution in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions describe a broad serious-crime practice conducted at trial and on appeal from the subordinate courts. Drug prosecutions are central — trafficking under "seksyen 39B(1)(a) Akta 234" (section 39B(1)(a) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952) and the mitigation and lesser-offence provisions of the same Act — but the offence base is much wider.

The reported catchwords reach homicide under "seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 302 of the Penal Code), sexual offences under the rape provisions in "seksyen 376" and the related provisions in sections 375B and 376B, and other Penal Code offences. A recurring posture is the sentence appeal — "rayuan ke atas sabitan dan hukuman" (appeals against conviction and sentence) — including appeals brought by the Public Prosecutor ("Pendakwa Raya") against a decision of the trial judge, and applications by which the prosecution seeks to disturb an outcome below.

The prosecution task in these matters is to prove the statutory elements of a range of serious offences and, on appeal, to defend or to challenge the conviction and sentence. In the drug matters the argument engages the trafficking presumptions and the custody-and-control element; in the homicide matters the intention element; and in the sexual-offence matters the elements and the protective evidential rules. The work combines primary trial advocacy with the appellate and revisionary role the High Court plays over the courts below.

The overall profile is a general serious-crime prosecution practice in the High Court, spanning drug trafficking, homicide and sexual offences. The reported reasons turn on the elements and sentencing regimes of several criminal statutes and on the appellate review of subordinate-court decisions, rather than on any civil or public-law question, marking a broad prosecution practice across the serious offence categories.
