SHAH ALAM: The Sultan of Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah has decreed all Syariah judges to always uphold the Islamic principles of justice when exercising their judicial power, even when questioned and challenged by certain parties.
His Royal Highness said that attempts by some parties to challenge the jurisdiction and decisions of Syariah Courts by bringing legal questions for interpretation by Civil Courts should not be used as a reason for fear or hesitation in delivering fair judgments.
