CJ: No lazy judges, prove allegationsChief Justice Tun Ahmad Fairuz Sheikh Abdul Halim today refuted claims that judges who have not written grounds of decision have been promoted and challenged the allegations to be proved.
He said the judiciary has records of judges who have not written their grounds of decision and their preliminary investigations revealed the allegations to be untrue.
Ahmad Fairuz was responding to media report that a Court of Appeal judge who had failed to write about 30 grounds of decision had been elevated to the Federal Court.
"We have got to check first. You know it is very dangerous when we say something which is not the truth. In Islam it is called "fitnah" (slanderous). It is very bad, we don't say anything which is not the truth," added Ahmad Fairuz.
On another allegation that a Federal Court judge had not written his grounds of judgment on three cases when he was a High Court judge in Seremban, Ahmad Fairuz also brushed it off.
"No... he has already written his grounds of decision and has already read it in court in 2002. I am still checking on it but that was what my preliminary investigations reveal," he added.
"Show it to me. You show to me that these people have been promoted and yet they have so many grounds to write," replied Ahmad Fairuz.
"Its (failure to give written grounds of decision) one of the factors. Is failure to write grounds of judgment alone sufficient to say amounts to misconduct. A person who has been a judge for about 15 years, and only on one occasion he didn't write his grounds of decision, is that a misconduct justifying for removal?" asked Ahmad Fairuz.
Remarks
Sometimes, or should I say, often times, this sort of response and reply have become standards and would have complied to ISO 9000 Quality Standard.
Denial syndrome or Gap plugging? Can all those lawyers who have cases where their appeal is withheld by the absence of written judgment come forward and assist our CJ by providing him with all the evidence? Could the lawyers do the nation a favour acting soonest possible?
