Mei, 35, has been keeping close tabs on kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi’s long drawn fight to regain custody of her youngest child Prasana Diksa from her ex-husband, Mohamad Riduan Abdullah @ K. Patmanathan.
Last month, the Court of Appeal decided to set aside a 2013 High Court order to quash the unilateral conversions of Indira’s three children (Tevi Darsiny, Karan Dinish and Prasana) to Islam by their Muslim convert father. The ruling meant that the legality of the conversions could only be determined by the Syariah Court.
