Judge Zabariah Mohd Yusof grants leave on grounds the application by the women's rights group is not frivolous. FMTNews SIS

SIS Forum is challenging the competency of the Selangor state assembly to pass a law allowing the state Syariah High Court to review fatwas.

Article 4 states that leave for such matters can be obtained from a single judge as long as the applicant can show the court that it is not frivolous. However, the applicant argued that any judicial review of a law passed by Parliament and state assemblies could only be heard before a civil High Court.
