Sekar A/L Kandasamy v Lembaga Wakaf Hindu Pulau Pinang & Ors

This appeal concerns the deregistration of Pertubuhan Sri Mangalanayagi Amman Bukit Tengah, a society managing a Hindu temple, and the subsequent takeover of the temple's administration by Lembaga Wakaf Hindu Pulau Pinang. The appellant, Sekar A/L Kandasamy, challenged the High Court's decision to dismiss his originating summons, which sought to contest the deregistration and the takeover. The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court's decision, ruling that the proper procedure should have been a judicial review under Order 53 of the Rules of Court 2012, and dismissed the appeal with costs.
