KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has ruled that the Syariah Court has no jurisdiction over a company as it is a corporate entity.
It made the ruling on Friday when it allowed an application by the two daughters of Tan Sri Syed Kechik Syed Mohamed to set aside an injunction obtained by their elder brother Syed Gamal from a Syariah Court regarding a 44% stake in Syed Kechik Holdings Sdn Bhd.
The court ruled that the Syariah Court had no jurisdiction over the company as it is a corporate entity.
The case was heard in chambers here on Friday.
Syed Gamal had earlier obtained the injunction at the KL Syariah Court to stop his 44% stake in the company from being sold off or liquidifed.
He had obtained the injunction from the Syariah Court for him to enter the company to check the assets as based on faraid law, he was entitled to a 44% stake following his father's passing in April last year.
Tan Sri Syed Kechik Syed Mohamed, who was the founder of Syed Kechik Foundation, was also the father-in-law of Al-Bukhary Foundation chairman Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary.
