: The Federal Court nine-man bench today heard a legal challenge brought by a lawyer and her daughter who want the court to declare 20 Syariah criminal offences, which were enacted by the Legislature of the state of Kelantan, as unconstitutional.
In the proceedings today, their lawyer Datuk Malik Imtiaz Sarwar submitted that the Legislature of the State of Kelantan did not have the power to enact laws on those offences as there are federal laws covering the same offences. At the onset of the hearing, Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat who chaired the bench said the court agreed with Malik that the case before the court has nothing to do with the doctrine of Islam but rather concern with the interpretation of words in the Federal Constitution.
The other judges presiding on the bench were Court of Appeal President Tan Sri Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim, Chief Judge of Malaya Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah, Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Sebli and Federal Court judges Tan Sri Nallini Pathmanathan, Datuk Mary Lim Thiam Suan, Datuk Harmindar Singh Dhaliwal, Datuk Nordin Hassan and Datuk Abu Bakar Jais.
