KUALA LUMPUR, June 3 ― The High Court today asked both Mohd Ezra Mohd Zaid and the Selangor Islamic Religious Department to attempt to settle on the amount of compensation to be paid to him, over Jais’ past wrongful Shariah prosecution in relation to a book in Bahasa Malaysia published by his company.
Typically, a trial is done through the calling of witnesses, but the hearing in this case was previously directed to proceed based on affidavits. The Shariah offence was punishable by a maximum fine of RM3,000 or a maximum two-year jail term or both, with the Shariah trial hanging over Ezra’s head and proceeding even amid his court challenges in the civil courts against the arrest and the Shariah trial.
On September 25, 2019, the Court of Appeal’s three-man panel unanimously decided to grant a court order to quash Jais’ arrest of Ezra as well as the Shariah prosecution against him. The Court of Appeal had also unanimously ordered that damages or compensation to be assessed for the “mental distress, agony and torture” faced and experienced by Ezra as a result of Jais’ wrongful action against both ZI Publications and himself, and to have the High Court assess the damages that should be paid to Ezra.
