Leave granted because applicant demonstrated serious and arguable questions of law: whether s229 SCPA may be invoked by a private individual and whether Syariah Courts may interpret and apply federal statutes in ways that affect fundamental liberties; civil superior courts retain supervisory jurisdiction to determine such questions and the application was not premature as the Leave Order and Notice to Show Cause immediately and adversely affected the applicant.
