The affidavit affirmed by Ambiga to support the leave application was defective, says federal counsel.
KUALA LUMPUR: The Attorney-General’s (A-G) Chambers is applying to strike out the leave application for a judicial review filed by the Bersih 2.0 movement to remove the order declaring it an unlawful society.
The High Court will hear the A-G’s Chambers preliminary objection to strike out the application on Sept 19.
Judge Rohana Yusuf set the date in chambers after meeting the parties involved.
On July 8, 14 members of the movement’s steering committee, including S Ambiga, filed the leave application naming the Home Minister, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the government as respondents.
They were represented by counsel Tommy Thomas, Fahri Azzat and K Shanmuga, while senior federal counsel Kamaludin Md Said, Azizan Md Arshad and Andi Razalijaya A Dadi acted for the respondents.
Kamaludin told reporters that the A-G’s Chambers wanted the court to strike out the application on the grounds that the affidavit affirmed by Ambiga to support the leave application was defective.
