The Freed Man Had Been Imprisoned Since 2015

T. Jegan, a canopy supplier, was released after the Court of Appeal set aside his conviction and sentence for firearms trafficking. He had been incarcerated since 2015, serving a life sentence.
Appeal Allowed by Court of Appeal

The Court of Appeal, presided over by Justice Datuk Seri Kamaludin Md Said along with Justices Datuk Abu Bakar Jais and Datuk Wira Ahmad Nasfy Yasin, found that T. Jegan's appeal had merit and that his conviction was not deemed safe. This decision led to the quashing of his conviction and the life sentence imposed by the High Court.
Original Conviction and Sentence

Jegan was originally charged with trafficking three pistols and a revolver, as well as possessing 69 rounds of ammunition. These offences allegedly occurred on December 18, 2015, in Kajang, Selangor. In March 2019, the High Court convicted him of firearms trafficking, sentencing him to life imprisonment and six strokes of the rotan. He also received an additional four years' jail for the ammunition possession.
Imprisonment Duration

Having been imprisoned since 2015, T. Jegan had spent approximately eight years in custody before his successful appeal resulted in his release.
