PUTRAJAYA: The Federal Court has set May 3 to deliver its verdict on an appeal brought by a 37-year-old woman seeking to overturn a Court of Appeal decision to reinstate her as a Muslim.
A three-member bench comprising Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim and Federal Court judges Datuk Mary Lim Thiam Suan and Datuk Abu Bakar Jais reserved their decision on the appeal on Feb 19 this year after hearing submissions from lawyers representing the woman, the Selangor Islamic Religious Council and the Selangor state legal advisor representing the Selangor state government.
She also said despite her conversion to Islam, her mother and her stepfather allowed her to continue practising the Hindu faith which she was born into. She then filed a lawsuit at the Civil High Court seeking a declaration that she is not a person professing the religion of Islam and named Mais and the Selangor state government as respondents.
