 The Islamic Council of Penang & Butterworth v Shaik Zolkaffily [FCM]
After examining the provisions of the then Administration of Muslim Law Enactment 1959 (Penang), the Supreme Court found that the Chief Kadi and the Court of Kadi did not have jurisdiction to issue the injunction applied for by the respondents.
The reason is that the Administration of Muslim Law Enactment 1959 (Penang) did not provide for the remedy of injunctions and therefore the Syariah Court in Penang does not have the jurisdiction to issue an order of injunction.
Clearly, if we examine the Penang Enactment, it seems clear to us that a Syariah Court is seized of jurisdiction by way of s 48(2)(b) (v), (vii) and (ix) of the Penang Enactment vis-à-vis the subject matter before the learned judge.
