PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal on Friday (April 5) dismissed an appeal by kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi over a High Court’s dismissal of her bid for leave to initiate contempt proceedings against the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) for failing to comply with a recovery order to locate her daughter, Prasana Diksa, who was taken away by her ex-husband in 2019.
A three-judge panel led by Justice Azizah Nawawi held that both the High Court and the appellate court were bound by a 2016 Federal Court ruling, which decided that a recovery order cannot be granted where there are two conflicting custodial orders.
