On 26 March 2014, the applicants' mother passed away due to illness. The applicants' father had already passed away in 2002. The applicants requested from the Court a stipulation that the deceased had passed away and that they were indeed the beneficiaries under her will. Such a stipulation would enable the applicants to deal with the estate of the deceased, which included her financial savings stored with Bank Mandiri Syari'ah.
Pursuant to arts 171(9)(c) and 174(1)(a) of the Compilation of Islamic Laws, the Court acceded to the applicants' request on the grounds that they were indeed the biological children of the deceased, as corroborated by their own evidence and that provided by witnesses.
