Tohirah binti Mohd Fauzi

On the court record

A High Court prosecution practice anchored in dangerous-drug trafficking, including prosecution sentence appeals.

Tohirah binti Mohd Fauzi appears for the prosecution in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi), and the reported decisions describe a caseload built around dangerous-drug offences. The charges are predominantly trafficking in dangerous drugs — "pertuduhan pengedaran dadah berbahaya" (charges of trafficking in dangerous drugs) — brought under the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, including matters involving methamphetamine and cases in which an accused faces multiple possession charges.

The reported postures show both trial and appellate prosecution. Some decisions are trials in which the accused is charged with dealing in dangerous drugs; others are sentence appeals, including "rayuan atas hukuman oleh pihak Pendakwa Raya" (appeals on sentence brought by the Public Prosecutor), where the prosecution seeks to disturb what it regards as an inadequate sentence. The statutory framework recurs across the matters: the sentencing and mitigation provisions in "seksyen 39A" and the alternative and lesser charges available under "seksyen 12" of the Act, and, in the homicide work, "seksyen 302 Kanun Keseksaan" (section 302 of the Penal Code) read with the common-intention provision in section 34.

The overall shape is a prosecution practice anchored in drug enforcement at High Court level, handling the proof of trafficking, the choice between the trafficking charge and lesser possession alternatives, and the calibration of sentence on appeal. The matters turn on the statutory elements and presumptions of the Dangerous Drugs Act and on the sentencing principles the appellate side of the High Court applies, rather than on a wide spread of unrelated offences. Several matters involve more than one charge against a single accused and the choice between the full trafficking charge and a lesser possession count, so the prosecution work engages not only proof of the elements but the framing of the charge itself and, where the prosecution appeals, the adequacy of the sentence the trial court first imposed.
