Suhana Binti Sabil appears as counsel of record in 7 reported Malaysia judgments (2024–2026). These were heard before MYHC (6) and MYCOA (1).
On the court record
Suhana Binti Sabil appears in the reported corpus largely as counsel for government and statutory respondents, and the matters concentrate in judicial review, land and public law — many of them argued on judgments written in Bahasa Malaysia. In a High Court matter involving Singapore-registered private-hire vehicles seized at the border, the court considered whether seizure was lawful under section 80(1) of the Land Public Transport Act 2010 and whether there was reasonable suspicion of an offence under section 16, holding the initial seizure lawful. A constitutional citizenship dispute raised Perkara 14(1)(b) Perlembagaan Persekutuan (Article 14(1)(b) of the Federal Constitution) and the acquisition of citizenship by operation of law for a child, distinguishing a foundling from a stateless child and testing a bantahan awal (preliminary objection) to the form of the originating summons.
Her judicial-review work recurs. One matter concerned penzahiran dokumen (discovery of documents) under Order 24 of the Rules of Court 2012, weighing relevance and necessity against public-interest immunity and the Official Secrets Act 1972 in a challenge to a disciplinary decision; another was a negligence claim over a death in custody, where the Court of Appeal found no foreseeable risk and dismissed the appeal. She also appeared in a semakan kehakiman (judicial review) concerning the disposal of stray dogs by a municipal council, in a judicial review turning on when time begins to run for limitation, and in a land matter under section 417 of the Kanun Tanah Negara (National Land Code) concerning the signing and registration of a transfer form on behalf of a deceased proprietor. Across these reported decisions she is consistently instructed for the state or its agencies, and the work marks her as a public-law and administrative-litigation practitioner comfortable in bilingual proceedings. In several of these matters the court's reasons were delivered in Bahasa Malaysia, and the challenges turned on threshold questions of standing, limitation and the adequacy of the originating process as much as on the merits of the underlying administrative decision, reflecting a practice built around the defence of statutory decision-makers.
