  "account": "Federal Court three-judge panel refused to order former PAS leader Ahmad Dusuki Abd Rani to pay costs to respondents, Majlis Agama Islam Selangor and Selangor Tauliah Committee, following his bid to prevent the religious group from continuing to legally teach his faith after his three-year authority expired. The Federal Court, comprising Judge Nordin Hassan, Judge Vazeer Alam Mydin Meera, and Judge Ravinthran Paramaguru, dismissed Ahmad Dusuki Abd Rani's appeal to overturn a High Court decision that upheld the High Court's ruling that upheld the High Court's decision. The three legal issues raised by Dusuki did not meet the threshold set under Section 96 of the Courts of Justice Act 1964, and did not raise a public interest issue. However, the panel did not order Dusuki, who was also a former member of PAS Selangor Consultative Council, to pay costs to the respondents. Solicitors Jamil Yaacob and Ashok K Raman represented Dusuki, while Arham Rahimy Hariri represented the respondents. On February 26, a three-judge panel at the High Court ruled that the court could not substitute public authority's decision with its own ruling in an issue involving freedom of speech. Judge Zaini Mazlan stated that Dusuki did not identify any statutory provision mandating the religious group to restore his authority that had expired. He also stated that Dusuki failed to prove that he had a legal right to automatically regain his authority, and that the peremptory mandamus order he sought would allow him to seek further advancement without filing a new application. The High Court did not commit any error that would warrant intervention from the Court of Appeal. Dusuki was granted authority to teach his religion in Selangor by the Selangor Religious Affairs Department and the Selangor Tauliah Committee. The authority was revoked on March 3, 2022, even though it was only set to expire on June 30, 2023. Dusuki then filed an appeal to the Federal Court seeking a review of the revocation and an order for respondents to continue the authority after the expiration date. He also sought compensation and a declaration that respondents could not prevent him from teaching his religion in the state due to his involvement in politics. On October 5, 2023, the High Court overturned the appeal and ruled that the revocation was invalid and should be annulled. However, the High Court refused to continue the authority beyond the expired date or grant a declaration sought, leading to the appeal.",
