Wanita lumpuh ditembak pada 1997 dianugerah RM350,000
Mahkamah Tinggi merekodkan penyelesaian melalui penghakiman persetujuan tanpa sebarang pengakuan liabiliti.
In 1997, a disabled woman who was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot during an argument in a Johor Bahru apartment was awarded RM350,000 by the Johor Bahru High Court. The surprising decision overturned a 2007 consent judgment that required the right-handed police officer and his wife to pay RM500 monthly for her medical expenses.
The woman's lawyer, M Manoharan, said the 2007 consent judgment demanded the couple pay RM500 per month for her care, totaling RM114,000 paid under that arrangement. The woman claimed her condition worsened over time, requiring more frequent medical care, but her request for an increase in the monthly payment was rejected. She filed a new lawsuit two years later for compensation of RM2.8 million.
The Johor Bahru High Court initially dismissed the lawsuit, but the Appeal Court reinstated it in 2024, sending the case back to the trial level. The woman's legal team, led by M Manoharan and M Hariharan, and the defense was represented by G Ravi and Aida Hassan. S Gunasegaran acted as counsel for the defense firm.
