Lawyer Datuk Zainul Rijal Abu Bakar, representing MAIPs, said in a statement on Tuesday (March 8) the application was filed through Messrs Zainul Rijal on Monday (March 7) so that the religious authority would have locus standi to apply for a variation on the terms of the sole custody order granted to Loh.
