Indira Gandhi to sue IGP for ignoring Federal Court order to arrest Muslim ex-husband

BY RAM ANAN

PETALING JAYA, Nov 21 — Hindu mother M. Indira Gandhi will be initiating a civil suit against the Inspector General of Police (IGP) for failing to comply with a mandamus order issued by the Federal Court to arrest her Muslim convert ex-husband who has refused to hand custody of the couple’s youngest child back to her.

Her lawyer M. Kulasegaran said that he will be filing the suit against the IGP’s office after the Federal Court delivers its judgement on Indira’s application to declare her children’s unilateral conversion to Islam by her ex-husband null and void.

Indira has been waiting for a judgement from the apex court for almost a year now, ever since it concluded hearing of her case in November 2016.

Former IGP Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar previously claimed there were contradicting orders from the Shariah Court and the civil courts as reason for his refusal to carry out the mandamus order to arrest Muhammad Riduan Abdullah issued by the High Court in Ipoh and subsequently upheld by the Federal Court last year.

But Kulasegaran insisted the IGP “lied” about there being two orders.

“There were never two orders. The only contradictions were relating to the custody of the children. The orders to retrieve the youngest child and to arrest the ex-husband were only issued at the civil court. He has lied to the whole nation,” Kulasegaran, who is also Ipoh Barat MP, said.

“The process is ongoing to sue him,” the DAP man added.

IGP cannot refuse to order officers to arrest Ridhuan, rules apex court

The duties of a police officer include the execution of warrants of committal issued against a person, resulting from a contempt proceeding, says the Federal Court.

In ordering inspector-general of police (IGP) Khalid Abu Bakar to arrest Muslim convert Mohd Ridhuan Abdullah, the Federal Court ruled that Ridhuan must be arrested to face justice.

Court of Appeal President Md Raus Sharif, who led the five-member bench in the unanimous decision, said the general duties of police officers under the command of the IGP are stipulated under Section 20 (3) of the Police Act 1967.

After Federal Court order, IGP says will arrest Indira Gandhi’s ex-spouse

BY YISWAREE PALANSAMY

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 ― Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said today the police will abide by a Federal Court order to arrest Muhammad Riduan Abdullah, ex-spouse of M.Indira Gandhi, for contempt of court.

“Police will obey the Fed Ct order,” Khalid said in a brief text message to the Malay Mail Online, referring to the Federal Court.

Earlier today, the country’s top court ordered the national police chief to arrest Muhammad Riduan for contempt of court, over his refusal to hand custody of their youngest child ― Prasana Diksa to her in the high-profile child conversion case.

The Federal Court also upheld the initial mandamus order issued by the Ipoh High Court to Khalid, ordering the court to monitor the procedures to track and to arrest Muhammad Riduan following today’s decision.

The court ruled that the committal order against Muhammad Riduan was justified as he has repeatedly failed to produce the couple’s child — Prasana Diksa, now aged eight — in court.

IGP to appear in court for ignoring order to arrest Muslim convert, find child

The Ipoh High Court today ordered the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid to explain why he refused to execute a May 30 order issued by the court to arrest Muslim convert Muhammad Ridzuan Abdullah and locate his youngest child.

Judge Lee Swee Seng, in granting Muhammad Ridzuan’s ex-wife M. Indira Gandhi’s mandamus application to cite the IGP for contempt for his refusal to follow the court directive, said that she had proved there was a case for Khalid to answer.

The judge fixed hearing for September 12.

Lawyer M. Kula Segaran, who appeared for Indira, said later that a court order would be served on Khalid for him to appear before the court on September 12.

“The Attorney-General’s Chambers will appear for the IGP as Indira took action against Khalid in his capacity as the nation’s top cop,” said Kula Segaran, who is also Ipoh Barat MP.

Kula Segaran said this was a landmark ruling because the judge was bold in issuing a directive against the IGP.

Hindu mother wins leave to force IGP to retrieve child from Muslim ex-spouse

KUALA LUMPUR, July 25 — The Ipoh High Court said today it will hear M.Indira Gandhi’s bid to compel the Inspector-General of the Police (IGP) to arrest her Muslim convert ex-husband who had ran off with her youngest daughter and return the child, her lawyer said today.

Lawyer M. Kulasegaran confirmed the Ipoh High Court has fixed September 12 to hear his client’s application before deciding whether it will issue the mandamus order compelling the IGP to act.

“Today the court has given leave for a mandamus order to be issued with respect to compel the IGP to execute the warrant of arrest and to execute the recovery order issued by the court,” he said in a statement today

A mandamus is a form of court order issued to induce specific action from public institutions and bodies, such as the police.

IGP: We’re ‘just monitoring’ Indira’s ex-husband

Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar has denied that police will arrest Indira Ghandi ex-husband for refusing a court order to return their child to her.

Instead, he said, Perak police are only searching for Riduan Abdullah @ S Pathmanathan to “monitor” him and “ensure the child is safe”.

The IGP said police are not budging from its position not to enforce either the civil or syariah court order, which sided with Indira’s ex-husband Riduan Abdullah, Bernama reports.

IGP defies court order in inter-faith child custody battle

Despite a court order to locate and return a child in an inter-faith custody battle, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) maintained his earlier stand that police will not comply with it as there were two conflicting verdicts in the case.

The Inspector-General of Police said he will not act on the Ipoh court order instructing the police to reunite Prasana Diksa with her Hindu mother M. Indira Ghandi.

Khalid said that the matter is being looked into by Putrajaya and he wished not to comment further on the matter.

“The fact remains that there are two conflicting verdicts. The matter is being looked into at the moment. I am not saying that police will not take action. I just wish not to comment on it at the moment,” said Khalid in a press conference at a function at University Teknologi Mara in Shah Alam today.

Khalid stressed the same point even when pressed further by the media.

IGP served court order to locate child in inter-faith custody battle

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) was yesterday served with a court order directing police to locate and hand over the daughter of a kindergarten teacher entangled in an inter-faith child custody dispute.

Lawyer M. Kulasegaran (pic), representing M. Indira Gandhi, said the High Court order was served on Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar to instruct his men to locate Indira’s ex-husband Muhammad Ridzuan Abdullah in any part of the country and hand over the child, Prasana Diksa (Ummu Habibah), to the mother.

“This order speaks for itself and we hope the police will give effect to the court order immediately,” Kulasegaran told The Malaysian Insider.

Kulasegaran said copies of the order would also be served on the High Court sheriff in Ipoh to locate Ridzuan.

“The officer in charge of the Ipoh police district and the chief police officer of Perak will also be given copies of the order,” he added.

Indira obtained the order last week following Khalid’s statement that minors in inter-faith child custody cases should be placed in childcare centres to be fair to both parents.

Ipoh court orders cops to find Indira’s daughter

The Ipoh High Court yesterday directed the police to retrieve kindergarten teacher M Indira Gandhi’s youngest daughter Prasana Diksa within 30 days – failing which they would have to answer the court why they did not comply with the order.

Indira Gandhi’s lawyer M Kulasegaran told Malaysiakini it was rare for the court to issue such order but he was glad that Justice Lee Swee Seng had allowed it.

“This is ensuing the court’s decision on May 30 this year,” he added.

“With this order, the police are required to find and bring back the girl. If they fail to do so, they have to state the reasons via an affidavit.

“With this, Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar will have to comply with the order and not propose something else,” he said.

Yesterday’s court order follows the failure of Indira Gandhi’s former husband K Pathmanathan @ Mohd Ridhuan Abdullah to comply with the Ipoh High Court order, dated May 30, for Ridhuan to return the five-year-old girl by June 6.

Ridhuan has been found guilty by Justice Lee of contempt of court for not returning the child, an order the court was willing to revoke, should the father return Prasana Diksa, or her Muslim name Ummu Habibah, to Kulasegaran or the mother by that time.

On May 30, Justice Lee also ruled that the civil High Court is superior to the Syariah High Court and declared the Syariah High Court order granting custody of Prasana Diksa to Ridhuan as null and void.
