: The Court of Appeal has suggested to a Hindu family and the Selangor Islamic Religious Council to explore the possibility of pursuing the matter of determining the religion of former teacher B. Raguram at the time of his death in the civil courts.
Justice Nantha Balan, who sat with Justices Datuk Mohd Nazlan Mohd Ghazali and Datuk Dr Choo Kah Sing, said the court leaves it to the parties how they want to move forward, adding that the matter was a sensitive issue with a lot of implications in a number of areas. Justice Nantha Balan then fixed tomorrow for case management to fixed another date to either continue the hearing of the appeal or to record whichever way parties have decided to resolve the matter.
He said the religious council, instead went to the Syariah Court to get an order declaring that Raguram was a Muslim and requested for a subpoena to be issued to Raguram’s widow to testify in the Syariah Court. He said the Syariah Court has no jurisdiction to issue the subpoena as Raguram’s widow is a non-Muslim.
Rajeswary and her children filed the judicial review in Sept 2020, naming MAIS, the Syariah High Court and the Selangor government as respondents. They sought for a declaration that Raguram professed the Hindu religion when he died and the Syariah Court had no jurisdiction to determine his religious status.
