PUTRAJAYA: The mother and daughter duo who brought forth a challenge against the Kelantan syariah law had no locus standi in the matter, says the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak.
Justice Abdul Rahman Sebli, who held the dissenting voice in the 8-1 decision, said the constitutional right of Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid and her daughter Tengku Yasmin Natasha Tengku Abdul Rahman were not affected by the enforcement of the 18 impugned law provisions under the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 2019 as they were never charged under the law.
