PUTRAJAYA: The hearing of single mother Loh Siew Hong’s application to get leave from the Federal Court to appeal against the Court of Appeal’s decision in allowing the Perlis Islamic Religion and Malay Customs Council (MAIPs) to intervene in her divorce proceedings, has been rescheduled to Sept 26.
One of her lawyers, J. Gunamalar, told Bernama that the application was fixed for hearing today, but they requested the matter to be heard on another date as the lead counsel was not able to make it today.
Gunamalar and MAIPs’s lawyer Danial Farhan Zainul Rijal attended the case management which was conducted online.Loh, 36, applied for leave to appeal in March this year against the Court of Appeal’s decision in allowing MAIPs to be the second respondent in the divorce petition between her and her ex-husband, Muhammad Nagahswaran Muniandy, involving the custody order given to her over her three children.
On Feb 7, this year, the Court of Appeal ruled that based on the reading of two provisions - Order 15 Rule 6 of the Rules of Court 2012 and Section 96 of the Law Reform Act 1976 - it would confer MAIPs a legal right to intervene. MAIPs filed the application to intervene on March 7, last year to enable the religious authority to have the locus standi to apply to vary the terms of the custody order granted to Loh.
