The High Court has no jurisdiction to make definitive determinations on Islamic inheritance rights which fall within the Syariah courts and State enactments; plaintiffs failed to establish locus standi because they did not obtain a Faraid certificate or equivalent Syariah/administrative order and therefore failed to satisfy the pre-conditions for an interlocutory injunction. The application for injunctive relief is therefore dismissed with costs.

Ratio Decidendi

The High Court has no jurisdiction to make definitive determinations on Islamic inheritance rights which fall within the Syariah courts and State enactments; plaintiffs failed to establish locus standi because they did not obtain a Faraid certificate or equivalent Syariah/administrative order and therefore failed to satisfy the pre-conditions for an interlocutory injunction.
