Kuala Lumpur: Selangor's Islamic authorities and a Hindu family are currently still locked in a legal dispute in court over whether the late secondary school teacher B. Raguram died as a Muslim or as a Hindu, almost three years since he was buried in a Hindu funeral ceremony.
The court case is important as it could ultimately decide whether the Malaysian man's body would be exhumed to be reburied according to Islamic funeral rites, and whether his non-Muslim widow and his two young children would be able to inherit his assets or if his assets will go to a Muslim treasury.
The lawyer for the Shariah court in Shah Alam argued it has a right to decide whether Raguram was a Muslim or had renounced Islam before his death, based on Section 61 of the 2003 Selangor state law. The High Court judge cited the Federal Court’s February 2021 decision in Rosliza Ibrahim’s case.
