Deceased's religious status: Family, Mais urged to consider alternative solution

The Court of Appeal has suggested a Hindu family and Selangor’s Islamic authorities explore alternative methods in resolving a three-year legal battle on whether a former secondary school teacher died a Muslim or Hindu.

A three-person civil appellate bench chaired by judge S Nantha Balan proposed this during a hearing of an appeal by the family of N Raguram, who was buried in a Hindu funeral ceremony in March 2020.
