Federal Court dismisses Zakir Naik’s leave to appeal, suit to be heard in Penang High Court

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 3 — The hearing of a lawsuit by independent speaker Dr Zakir Naik against former Batu Uban Assemblyman S. Raveentharan will be heard in the Penang High Court.

“As such the present motion for leave to appeal to the Federal Court against the decision of the Court of Appeal on the striking out of the appeal was on the basis of the preliminary objection that was raised by the respondent in the Court of Appeal,” he said. On July 23 last year, the Kuala Lumpur High Court allowed Raveentharan’s application to transfer the lawsuit to Penang High Court, prompting Dr Zakir to appeal against the decision to the Court of Appeal.

He said the Court of Appeal had not heard Dr Zakir’s appeal on the merits against the decision of the High Court in the exercise of its original jurisdiction, instead the Court of Appeal heard a preliminary objection.
