Gerakan's notice of motion to challenge the constitutionality of hudud law in Kelantan will be heard at the Federal Court on Oct 15.

Besides this, the apex court has also fixed ‎Sept 17 to hear the Attorney-General's Chambers application to intervene in the motion.

The dates were given by the apex court following case management today.

The AG Chambers has applied to be a party in the motion filed by Gerakan as they could assist the court in matters pertaining to the constitution.

The Kelantan government, which is to be represented by senior lawyer Sulaiman Abdullah had in June indicated they are making a preliminary objection on grounds that the applicants Tuan Mat Tuan Wil, 64, Soh Hoon Lee, 68 and Chung Mon Sie, 49, do not have locus standi (legal standing) in the matter.

Lawyer Andy Yong and Chai Ko Thing represented Gerakan. Senior lawyer Kuthubul Zaman Bukhari held watching brief on behalf of the Bar Council.

Gerakan, a component of BN, had filed a motion to challenge the constitutionality of the controversial hudud law in May.

Hudud law in Kelantan is codified under the Syariah Criminal Code (II) 1993 (Amendment) 2015.

The party had also tried to file a review of the hudud law a day before the law was amended in March, but this was dismissed by the Kota Bharu High Court after it allowed a preliminary objection.
