Court gives specific order to police to hand over daughter to Hindu mother

(TMI) – The Ipoh High Court has issued a specific order directing police to hand over a child to her Hindu mother who is embroiled in a custody battle with her convert ex-husband.

Kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi obtained the order yesterday in light of Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar’s statement that minors in inter-faith child custody cases should be placed in childcare centres without enforcing orders from both the Shariah and civil courts, in order to be fair to both parents.

Her lawyer N. Selvam said a more specific order was issued by judge Lee Swee Seng yesterday.

“We will be handing over a sealed copy of the order to police to locate and hand over the girl to the mother,” he told The Malaysian Insider.
