Parti Liyani v PP

On an acquitted accused's application for compensation under s 359(3) of the Criminal Procedure Code, a prosecution is 'frivolous or vexatious' where it was purposeless, lacking in seriousness, or otherwise an improper exercise of prosecutorial power having regard to the Prosecution's duties as ministers of justice; the application here was dismissed because an objective prosecutor could have considered the case fit to be tried.
