Should commas enclose "Havinderjit Singh"?

Najib's lawyer Harvinderjit Singh today started cross-examinations of Muhamad Akmaluddin who has been with CCM since 2007.

Would it be incorrect to enclose "Havinderjit Singh" with commas?

Thanks.

If that section is not vital/important to the sentence, then put commas around his name.

No commas around a name or title indicates that it is central to the meaning of the sentence.
My friend Jane is a better cook than me.

Commas around a name or title that is NOT central to the meaning of a sentence, the sentence will still make sense in context.
My friend, Jane, is a better cook than me.

Thanks, PUNKEY.

Is there a difference in meaning between the sentences in boldface?

@tanguatlay,
There is no difference. Both sentences indicate that Jane is a better cook.
