JUDGMENT

Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat CJ (majority):

Introduction

[1] My learned brother Abdul Rahman Sebli, CJSS is dismissing the petition on the sole ground that the petitioners had no locus standi to file the petition. The other members of the Coram have seen my judgment in draft and have expressed their agreement with it. This is the majority judgment of the Court.

[2] In this judgment, unless otherwise expressly or impliedly stated, any references to 'Articles', 'Clauses', 'Schedules', 'Lists' shall be taken to mean any references to those of the Federal Constitution ('FC'). Likewise, any references to 'sections' means any reference to the sections of the Kelantan Syariah Criminal Code (I) Enactment 2019 [Enactment 14] which incidentally by virtue of s 1(3) of the same, applies to Muslims only and that too, only in the State of Kelantan.
