The appellants sought to challenge the decision of the Bireuen Shari'a Court, which had rejected their inheritance claim in full and ordered them to pay costs.
The Court concurred with the lower court that the appellants' original claim was legally flawed and, accordingly, unclear. While the Court said this per se was grounds for dismissal, the lower court had adjudicated the appellants' claim regardless. As the lower court arrived at the same conclusion, the Court felt there was no need to render the lower court's decision null and void.
