In an unprecedented move, the Johor Syariah Court of Appeal today ordered the appeal to the divorce proceedings of former Sultanah Johor Tuanku Zanariah Tuanku Ahmad be conducted in a closed court.
The court also disallowed her children by the late Johor sultan Mahmud Iskandar, for example Tuanku Maisara and her siblings, to be present in court.
Tuanku Zanariah, who filed the application to appeal the earlier Johor Syariah High Court decision that affirmed the divorce, could not be present as she was unwell and wanted her daughters to represent her.
Even lawyers who are assisting the lead counsel for Tuanku Zanariah were given the boot by the court.
One of Tuanku Zanariah's lawyers Kamar Ainiah Kamaruzaman confirmed that this was what transpired at today's court proceedings.
