About Ravishankar a/l S N Gandhi
Ravishankar a/l S N Gandhi appears as counsel of record in 8 reported Malaysia judgments (2025–2026). These were heard before MYHC (4) and MYCOA (4).
On the court record
A criminal-defence practice focused on anti-trafficking-in-persons offences under Act 670, at trial and on appeal.
Ravishankar a/l S N Gandhi appears across the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan), and the reported decisions describe a criminal-defence practice concentrated on anti-trafficking-in-persons matters. The charges arise under "seksyen 26B(d) Akta Anti Pemerdagangan Orang" and the related "seksyen 26A Akta 670" — sections of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act 2007 (Act 670) — in which he appears in the defence of the accused and as respondent.
The reported matters engage "rayuan ke atas sabitan dan hukuman" (appeals against conviction and sentence), together with the procedural and evidential provisions of the Act and the common-intention provision in "seksyen 34 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 34 of the Penal Code). Appearing for the accused and as respondent, the reported task is to test whether the prosecution proved the elements of the Act 670 charge and whether the conviction and sentence were sound, and to hold an outcome favourable to the accused on appeal.
The work turns on the statutory elements of the trafficking-in-persons offences and on the evidence marshalled to prove them. The argument concerns whether the prosecution established the constituent elements of the offence, whether the presumptions and procedural safeguards were correctly applied, and whether the sentence was warranted. Because the matters run at both trial and appellate level, the practice spans the conduct of a contested trial and the challenge to its outcome.
The overall profile is a focused criminal-defence practice in anti-trafficking-in-persons offences under Act 670, conducted in the High Court and Court of Appeal. The matters turn on the elements and procedure of the Act 670 offences and on the sufficiency of the evidence, rather than on any civil or public-law question, marking a defence speciality in one of the more recently developed areas of serious-crime enforcement. The concentration on Act 670 charges distinguishes the practice from the drug-defence profiles that dominate the criminal work elsewhere in the corpus.
