Bernama, Dec 15 2008 -- The High Court has fixed Thursday to hear the application by Indian Progressive Front (IPF) vice president V. Mathiyalagan to stop Puan Sri Jayashree Gnanapandithan from continuing to serve as the party’s president.
Mathiyalagan brought the suit on Nov 24, naming Jayashree, party secretary-general K. Velayutham and assistant secretary K. Neducheralanathan as defendants.
Besides the injunction, he also sought aggravated and exemplary damages, costs and other reliefs deemed fit by the court.
He also sought a court order to stop Jayashree from intervening in the affairs of the party and a declaration that she was not a legitimate IPF president and all actions by her as the president were null and void.
He also sought a declaration that the letter appointing Jayashree as party president dated April 20, 2008 and the meeting of the party’s supreme council held at Kuala Lumpur Hospital on April 20, 2008 also null and void.
Mathiyalagan alleged that the IPF supreme council’s statement on Jayashree’s appointment as acting president and later party president in place of her late husband, Tan Sri M.G. Pandithan, was a fraud.
He said Jayashree’s action in calling herself IPF president without any legitimate policies or powers had brought confusion to IPF supreme council members, IPF members and the public.
In her reply filed on Dec 11, Jayashree said there was no fraud, complot or falsification in her appointment as party president and sought the court to throw out Mathiyalagan’s application.
The three defendants were represented by lawyer S. Selvam while K.
Saraswathy acted for Mathiyalagan.
