PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Court of Appeal on Wednesday (Oct 27) dismissed appeals by a Muslim-convert mother and the Federal Territory Registrar of Muallaf against a High Court's decision to quash the unilateral conversion of the two children to Islam.

A three-member bench led by Justice Datuk Mohamad Zabidin Mohd Diah, in a unanimous decision, said the Court of Appeal was bound by the Federal Court’s decision in the kindergarten teacher M. Indira Gandhi's case.
