The High Court in Kota Baru will decide on May 7 on a preliminary objection raised by the Kelantan state government to Gerakan's challenge to the constitutionality of its hudud enactment.

The law was passed by the state legislature two months ago.

The Kelantan government raised the objection citing Article 4(3) and 4(4) of the Federal Constitution where such declaratory challenge on a state law that goes against the Federal Constitution must obtain leave (permission) from the Federal Court, and also Article 128 that states such a proceeding should be made before the apex court.
