‘Duo have no locus standi, govt and AGC do’


PUTRAJAYA: The mother-and-daughter duo who lodged a challenge against the Kelantan Syariah law had no locus standi in the matter, said the Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak.

Justice Abdul Rahman Sebli, who held the dissenting voice in an 8-1 decision, said the constitutional rights 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 provisions under the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code Enactment 2019 as they were never charged under the law.
