Read Time:2 Minute, 30 Second

Singapore: Singapore Appeal Court on Tuesday rejected an offer for relief by a Malaysian Narcotics trader from India who was sentenced to death in 2010, according to a media report. Nagaenthran Dharmalingam, 34, has appealed against the decision of the High Court who rejected his request to begin the basic judicial review process that it was said to have a person’s mental age under 18 years. National Malaysia has also installed a criminal movement to be assessed by an independent psychiatric panel, with the inpostation of the execution in the meantime.

Delivering the verdict on behalf of the five judges panel, chairman of the Judge Sundaresh Menon fired the applicant’s case as “unfounded and without services, both as facts and laws” reported. “In our assessment, this process is a blatant and terrible abuse of the court process,” said the Court of Appeal. “They have done with the aim that appears to be unfair delay the implementation of the punishment imposed on the applicant.” Nagaenthran Dharmalingam was sentenced to death in 2010 to import 42,72g heroin to Singapore in 2009 in a bundle that was tied to her thigh. He previously failed in his appeal to the High Court in 2011, to the APEX court in 2019, and in his request to the president of Clarmatence.

Nagaenthran Dharmalingam is represented by Violet Netto. The former lawyer Ravi Madasamy, better known as M Ravi, was also present Earlier this month, Netto argued for him to accept “independent” psychiatric assessment and “full-ended neuro-cognitive test” to evaluate its competence to be executed and prescribe the necessary care Prosecution has answered that there is no reliable evidence that the mental condition of the Nagaenthran has deteriorated and that he is incompetent to be executed, and there is no basis for granting his request to be assessed by the psychiatric panel. The appellate court said the Petitioner’s center argument was that “because of the alleged decline in the Petitioner’s mental faculty since the period of being offended, the death penalty could not be done”.

However, there is no acceptable evidence to show a decrease in nagenthran mental conditions The only proof given to the application was a written statement from Ravi where he made a “naked statement” about the age of the Mental Applicant It concluded his assessment, the Court of Appeal said the imposition and implementation of the death penalty was always “difficult problems”.

“Advice may have a passionate view that runs the counter to impose the death penalty. At the community level, the right way for them and indeed for anyone who is also located is to look for legislative changes if they think of doing so,” he said But as long as the law gives the imposition of capital punishment in a determined condition, inappropriate for advice to abuse the court process and thus bringing the administration of criminal justice becomes unclear by submitting one application without hope and with breastfeeding shed the evidence that should be,” the verdict concluded.
