The Federal Court ruled that a company cannot alter the findings of a domestic inquiry panel without undertaking adjudicatory function.
Institute of Technology Petronas Sdn Bhd and UTP were named as respondents. The company is the owner of the university.

The employee will be able to defend himself once again, ” he said in the ruling delivered on Thursday.
The bench also ordered the respondents to pay RM100,000 in costs to Amirul, who was represented by Raam Kumar, Mohan Ramakrishnan and Norleena Jamal.Amirul was served with a show cause letter on Oct 22, 2015, and later appeared before a domestic inquiry to answer two charges of misconduct.
