The Federal Court has allowed the Negri Sembilan government to appeal against the Court of Appeal's ruling which deemed a provision in the state religious enactment that criminalised cross-dressing by Muslims as unconstitutional. – The Malaysian Insider, January 27, 2015.
The Federal Court has allowed the Negri Sembilan government's leave application to challenge the Court of Appeal's ruling against a provision in the state religious enactment that criminalised cross-dressing by Muslims.
A five man bench, led by Tan Sri Raus Sharif, allowed one question to be argued during the appeal without hearing submission from opposing parties.
The question is whether Section 66 of the Negri Sembilan's Shariah Criminal enactment contravened Articles 5, 8, 9 and 10 of the Federal Constitution.
Parties will have to file within 14 days for case management before a date is fixed to hear the appeal.
