, on Wednesday sought a court order to disclose various documents, making allegations against the Singapore Prison Service , her former lawyer and the prosecution.

Her bid was dismissed by a three-judge Court of Appeal, which said there was no basis on which it can order the disclosure of the material.

The agency has stated that it has fully investigated the incidents - including two where Gaiyathiri was the aggressor - and appropriately punished the relevant parties. The prosecutor argued that Gaiyathiri's application falls far short of the well-established legal threshold for presenting evidence on appeal.

Gaiyathiri, who was a housewife, was sentenced in June last year by the High Court for abusing and starving the victim, 24-year-old Piang Ngaih Don. The maid was assaulted almost daily, suffering slaps, punches and kicks, and blows from hard objects.
