PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal today upheld a Sessions Court decision in ordering a self-employed man who was convicted of one count of raping and two counts of committing physical sexual assault on his 10-year-old daughter to serve the jail sentences for the three charges concurrently.
A three-member bench of the Court of Appeal comprising Justices Datuk Hadhariah Syed Ismail, Datuk M. Gunalan and Datuk Dr Choo Kah Sing made the ruling in an appeal by the 45-year-old seeking the court to clarify whether the jail sentences that were imposed on him were to run concurrently or consecutively.
