Investigation Committee (IIC) Legitimacy 1 Facts The Appellant, Professor Dato’ Dr. Mohd Fauzi Bin Ramlan, a former Vice-Chancellor of Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), was subjected to disciplinary proceedings under the Statutory Bodies (Discipline and Surcharge) Act 2000 (Act 605). He was found guilty of insubordination by UPM’s Disciplinary Committee (DC) and penalised by a reduction in rank from VK6 to VK7. His appeal to the Disciplinary Appeal Committee (DAC) was dismissed. The Appellant subsequently sought judicial review of the DAC’s decision, which was dismissed by the High Court. The present appeal challenges that dismissal. 1 Issues 1Whether the disciplinary process, particularly before the DAC, complied with the rules of natural justice. 1 2Whether the DAC’s failure to allow the Appellant to be present during witness examination constituted a procedural impropriety. 1 3Whether defects in earlier stages (IIC, IC, DC) were “cured” by the DAC’s appellate process. 1 Held Appeal Allowed 1
