SHAH ALAM (Bernama): The High Court here acquitted and discharged two farm workers on Monday (Sept 27) on a charge of harbouring three smuggled migrants last year.

Judge Datuk Mohd Yazid Mustafa ordered the release of S.Ramachandran, 30, and Azhar Rofani, 24, after finding the prosecution having failed to establish a prima facie case against them.

They were charged under Section 26H of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants Act, which provides an imprisonment for up to 10 years, or fine, or both, if found guilty. "In the charge, it is only stated protecting the migrants, the 'limb' is not stated. It is my finding that the failure to include any 'limb' violates the mandatory provision of Section 154 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” Mohd Yazid added.
