Death in custody case: Court dismisses family's appeal


PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal on Thursday (Oct 19) rejected a family's appeal to set aside the High Court's decision which dismissed their legal action against the government over a police detainee P. Karuna Nithi's death in 2013.

A three-member bench comprising Court of Appeal judges Datuk S. Nantha Balan, Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali and Datuk Dr Choo Kah Sing, in an unanimous decision said that the originating summons by the family was the same as the one earlier filed at the Seremban High Court in 2018.
