Because the subject matter was custody of a Muslim child, it fell within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Syariah Court under art.121(1A); therefore the High Court had no jurisdiction to entertain a habeas corpus application even though the Syariah Court could not grant that remedy, and the appellants should have appealed the Syariah Court decision.
