The High Court allowed the defendants' Order 18 Rule 19 application and struck out the writ and statement of claim because the dispute concerned harta sepencarian between Muslim ex‑spouses and thus falls within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Syariah Court; parallel Syariah proceedings rendered the civil claim duplicative and an abuse of process, making the civil action plain and obviously unsustainable.
