PUTRAJAYA, May 3 — The Federal Court here today put off hearing a case on the controversial conversion of two young children to Islam, after the father challenged the practicality of proceedings in the absence of the mother, who has left Malaysia.
A five-man panel of judges, led by Chief Justice Tan Sri Zaki Azmi, made the decision this morning in the bitter tussle between S. Shamala and her estranged Indian-Muslim husband, Dr Muhammad Ridzwan Mogarajah, after he objected to the hearing.
His objection came after noting an outstanding High Court order for her to return their two children, Saktiwaran and Theivaswaran, now aged 11 and nine respectively, to Malaysia.
“I think the issues are not so easy. It’s quite complicated. We would like to read through all the cases and understand all laws properly,” Zaki said in open court.
He added that he would deliver a decision on the preliminary objection after a careful study of the points raised, in about two weeks.
