Over a period of fifty-five years, Dr Bashir Mallal's progressive editions of Mallal's Criminal Procedure have established an enviable and respected tradition. This Seventh Edition continues Dr Mallal?s aims of providing the legal profession with an authoritative and practical guide to the criminal procedure and practice of both the Superior and Subordinate Courts in Malaysia. While the work does not claim to be an exhaustive reference on the subject, it is certainly hoped that reference to it may serve to simplify the arduous task of research into its vast area of law, and make transparent the often complex process of the administration of criminal justice and procedure in Malaysia. Mallal's Criminal Procedure contains detailed annotations to all the sections of the Criminal Procedure Code. These annotations, supported by relevant authorities, explain and analyse important aspects of criminal procedure as well as provide useful information such as the history of each section and similarities, if any, to the Indian Criminal Procedure Code 1973 and the Singapore Criminal Procedure Code 2010. They facilitate a better understanding of criminal procedure and serve as signposts for further research.
