Nik Elin’s case opens doors for more to challenge state syariah laws, says Mohd Na'im

KUALA LUMPUR: The recent apex court ruling to deem several provisions under the Kelantan syariah law criminal enactment as unconstitutional could pave the way for others to file similar petitions, says Datuk Dr Mohd Na'im Mokhtar.

When speaking at the special chambers at the Dewan Rakyat, the Minister in Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) acknowledged this based on the context of judicial independence.
