Seterusnya, dalam Peguam Negara Malaysia & Anor v Gu Fu Seng & Other Appeals [2022] 9 CLJ 336, Mahkamah Rayuan menegaskan bahawa pendekatan yang menekankan status anak pada masa kelahiran dan pengoperasian Seksyen 17 PP terus terpakai dan mengikat sebagaimana yang berikut:- [41] Obviously, before the decision of the Federal Court in CTEB was delivered, there were two conflicting decisions of the Court of Appeal, namely Madhuvita and CTEB (CA). However, that controversy or conflict has since been (somewhat) settled by the majority decision of the Federal Court in CTEB which had clearly and unequivocally posited that it is the legitimate or illegitimate status of the child "at the time of birth" that matters. Thus, the subsequent marriage of the illegitimate child's parents or the order of legitimacy under the Legitimacy Act 1961 are irrelevant. [47] For now, it is our view that based on the doctrine of stare decisis, the majority ruling in CTEB applies to the fact pattern presented in the instant appeals. As such, all the appeals are allowed and we set aside the decisions of the High Court in respect of each of the appeals. Consequently, the applications via each of the originating summons in the High Court are dismissed. We made no order as to costs (here and below).
