GISBH, CEO gagal batal fatwa Kedah
Mahkamah Tinggi Alor Setar berkata mahkamah sivil dilarang mendengar perkara berada di bawah bidang kuasa Mahkamah Syariah.
The High Court in Alor Setar dismissed GISB Holdings Sdn Bhd's (GISBH) and CEO Nasiruddin Ali's attempts to challenge a state fatwa issued against them last year. The fatwa, issued by the Fatwa Office of Kedah on February 20, 2025, declared GISBH as an organization promoting a heretical doctrine and stated that anyone practicing it was in breach of the state's Sharia law.
Legal challenges by GISBH and Nasiruddin were rejected by Civil Court Judge Evawani Farisyta Mohammad, as the court lacked jurisdiction to review the matter. The application for permission to appeal was also denied by the High Court in Shah Alam and Kangar, citing the same reasons. GISBH and Nasiruddin subsequently filed appeals against three related court decisions.
