KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court here has ordered the Home Minister and two others to respond within 14 days to the Human Rights Party’s (HRP) application for it to be registered as a political party.
High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) judge Justice Rohana Yusuf also granted leave to lawyer P. Uthayakumar for his judicial review application after hearing submissions by parties in chambers yesterday.
Uthayakumar represented himself while Senior Federal Counsel Suhaila Haron acted for the three respondents.
Speaking to reporters later, Suhaila said the judge had granted leave to Uthayakumar for the court to hear merits of his application on Aug 16 to register his party as a political party.
Uthayakumar said the court had set July 11 for case management before a deputy register over the outcome of the matter.
The HRP leader had on April 6 filed an application for a judicial review as pro-tem secretary-general.
He had named Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, the Registrar of Societies and Federal Territory’s ROS branch as respondents.
Uthayakumar is seeking for a mandamus order to direct the respondents to approve and register HRP as an organisation and a political party in accordance with provisions in the Federal Constitution and the Societies Act.
