Dr Hema Thiyagu and her husband, Dr Vengadesh Naidu, with lawyer K Simon Murali at the High Court in George Town after the oral verdict was delivered.
The grounds were issued in connection with a lawsuit brought by plaintiff, Dr Hema Thiyagu, against the director of JPJ Penang, the JPJ director-general and the federal government. Setting out in writing the grounds of his decision, Anand said that under Section 8 of the Road Transport Act 1987, all state JPJ directors were required to maintain a register of all motor vehicles in their jurisdiction.As such, Anand said, either the state director or the director-general ought to have promptly updated the register upon receiving information about the possibility of the vehicle being cloned.
“It is pertinent to note that there was nothing entered on the register to red flag the said vehicle, which allowed multiple transactions before it ended up being registered with the plaintiff,” he stated.
