The Court of Appeal today allowed an application by former Felda chairperson Mohd Isa Abdul Samad for the temporary return of his passport, which had been surrendered to the court, to enable him to travel to the United Kingdom for his stepdaughter's convocation ceremony at a university there this March 30.

A panel of three judges led by Kamaludin Md Said said the passport, which would be handed over to Mohd Isa on March 14, should be returned to the court on April 16.
