A nine-person Federal Court bench this morning allowed lawyer Nik Elin Zurina Nik Abdul Rashid and her daughter Tengku Yasmin Natasha Tengku Abdul Rahman’s petition to nullify the validity of some of the state's syariah criminal provisions.
The bench was chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat for the 8-1 split majority decision.
