KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) today set March 16 to hear submissions pertaining to two judicial review applications filed by some MIC leaders against the Registrar of Societies (ROS) over a directive for the party to hold fresh elections.
Judge Datuk Asmabi Mohamad set the date in chambers in the presence of senior federal counsel Suzana Atan, representing the ROS, and lawyer B. Jadadish Chandra, representing the MIC leaders, who included president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel.
Met by reporters outside the court, Jadadish Chandra said the ROS had submitted preliminary objections against the two applications and the matter would be heard on the same day.
The two applications for the judicial review were filed separately. The first application was filed on Feb 23 by MIC Central Working Committee (CWC) member A. K. Ramalingam, 47, who named the ROS and its director-general, Mohammad Razin Abdullah, as the respondents.
On Feb 24, Palanivel, vice-presidents Datuk S. Sothinathan and Datuk S. Balakrishnan, and former secretary-general A. Prakash Rao filed the second application.
They named the ROS and the Home Minister as the first and second respondent, respectively.
They are seeking, amongst others, a declaration that matters related to a political party’s elections are governed by that party’s constitution and could not be based on the opinion of the ROS.
They are also seeking a declaration that the decision of the MIC annual general meeting held on Nov 30, 2013, was legitimate and enforceable.
The four applicants also sought a temporary injunction to restrain the two respondents from taking any action against MIC nor issue any directives to the party until the disposal of the judicial review applications.
