On the court record
The reported matters concentrate on judicial-review procedure and the Attorney General's role, including Federal Court appearances, grounded in the judgments.
Naresh a/l Mayachandran's reported matters are concentrated in public and judicial-review law, argued in the High Court and the Federal Court, several of them procedurally significant. In a judicial-review matter he appeared for a respondent where the application for leave raised an objection that the time for seeking leave had expired, together with a proposed amendment to the leave application, engaging the strict timelines that govern the commencement of judicial review.
The profile also includes contempt and committal proceedings. In a High Court matter he appeared for the applicant on an application for leave to bring committal proceedings, where the alleged contempt arose from the position taken by the respondent in opposing leave in judicial-review proceedings, a matter at the intersection of contempt and the conduct of public-law litigation.
A significant apex-court strand concerns the role of the Attorney General at the leave stage of judicial review. In appeals before the Federal Court, the questions were the Attorney General's role under Order 53 rule 3(3) of the Rules of Court 2012, whether there is a duty to confirm or disclose documents, the burden of proof for disputed evidence, and the distinction between procedural and substantive requirements at the leave stage. He appeared for the respondent in those Federal Court proceedings. A thread across these decisions is the machinery of judicial review itself, from the time limits and amendment of a leave application, to the enforcement of proper conduct by contempt, to the apex court's clarification of the Attorney General's obligations when leave is sought, argued in the High Court and before the Federal Court of Malaysia. A feature of the profile is that the disputes are often about the process rather than the merits of a public decision, the time within which review must be sought, the disclosure that must accompany it, and the consequences of the positions parties take, so that the reported work sits squarely in administrative and public law, grounded in the judgments.
