Hindraf sought to set aside the decision not to grant it approval and registration as a non-governmental organisation.
Judge Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim fixed the date after meeting M.Manoharan, counsel for Hindraf secretary P.Ramesh, and Noor Hisham Ismail, senior federal counsel representing Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and three others.
Ramesh named Najib, Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein, the Registrar of Societies of Malaysia and the Federal Territory ROS as respondents.
He also sought a writ of mandamus for the respondents to approve Hindraf's application based on the Federal Constitution and Societies Act within seven days of the court order.
In his supporting affidavit, Ramesh said the application to register Hindraf as an NGO was made on Oct 2009.
It was based on rights of freedom and equality under Article 10(1)(C) and Article 8 of the Federal Constitution.
Noor Hisham told reporters that Najib and Hishammuddin should not have been named as respondents because they were not the decision making parties for the registration.
