The unilateral conversion of Hindu mother M. Indira Gandhi’s three children was unanimously voided and set aside by the Federal Court today, ending her nine-year ordeal.
The five-member panel led by Court of Appeal president Tan Sri Zulkefli Ahmad Makinudin said the conversion of the children, made unilaterally by her Muslim convert ex-husband in 2009, must be “set aside”.
The court ruled that the Registrar of Mualaffs (Muslim converts) had acted beyond the “limits of power” in registering the children as Muslims when conditions for their conversion were not fully met.
The 99-page judgment was read out in summary by Justice Tan Sri Zainun Ali, after the Federal Court deliberated over Indira’s application for 14 months.
