KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has dismissed a religious council's bid to intervene in judicial review proceedings filed by Sarawakian clerk  Jill Ireland Lawrence Bill challenging the the Home Minister's decision to seize eight CDs that contained the word "Allah".

On Monday, High Court judge Justice Nor Bee Ariffin denied an application by the Selangor Islamic Religious Council (Mais) to be an intervener in the judicial review but instead allowed it to be friend of the court or "amicus curiae".
