PUTRAJAYA, Oct 12 — The Federal Court here today reserved its decision on a legal action brought by SIS Forum to challenge a Selangor Islamic Enactment provision which empowered state Shariah High Court to review fatwa issued by the state religious authorities.
SIS sought leave to commence the challenge seeking to declare Section 66A of the Administration of the Religion of Islam Enactment 2003 invalid. “This power is exclusively vested in the civil courts. Such power can only be exercised by the courts established under Part XI of the Federal Constitution. As noted in Indira Gandhi’s case, Shariah Courts are not such courts and therefore cannot exercise the power of judicial review,” the lawyer said.
