About Vilasiny a/p Gannasen

Vilasiny a/p Gannasen appears as counsel of record in 4 reported Malaysia judgments (2025). These were heard before MYHC (2) and MYCOA (2).

On the court record

The reported matters span criminal-procedure, land-caveat and construction-adjudication work, grounded in High Court and Court of Appeal judgments.

Vilasiny a/p Gannasen's reported matters span criminal procedure, land and construction-payment law, argued in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. A criminal-procedure decision concerned an allegation that a charge was defective, engaging the requirements of sections 152, 153 and 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code and, in particular, whether the particulars of the manner in which the offence was committed had to be stated, and the distinction between an element of an offence and its particulars. Appearing for the applicant, the Court dismissed the application and ordered that the case be returned to the Sessions Court at Butterworth for trial.

Land law features in a matter concerning an application to cancel a Registrar's caveat, where the plaintiff had not complied with the procedure prescribed under the National Land Code and there was no appealable decision under section 418, which the Court treated as a jurisdictional defect; appearing for the plaintiff, the application was dismissed with costs of RM3,000 to each of two defendants.

Construction-payment law completes the profile. In related Court of Appeal appeals a claimant sought to enforce an adjudication decision made under the Construction Industry Payment and Adjudication Act 2012, the statutory regime that provides for the swift resolution of payment disputes in the construction industry. Appearing on the appeals, the Court found no merit in either appeal and affirmed the decisions of the High Court in the underlying originating summonses. A thread across these decisions is the observance of statutory procedure and its consequences, whether the sufficiency of a criminal charge, the correct route to challenge a caveat under the Land Code, or the enforcement of an adjudicated payment under the construction-payment legislation, argued in the High Court and before the Court of Appeal of Malaysia. The reported work thus reaches criminal, land and construction fields, grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking.
