The Court of Appeal allowed the appeals and set aside the High Court declaration because the respondent's religious status had already been judicially determined by the Syariah High Court and affirmed by the Syariah Court of Appeal, making the Civil High Court lack jurisdiction under Article 121(1A); on the facts the matter was a renunciation case not an ab initio case and the High Court erred in holding otherwise.
