Political cartoonist Zulkiflee SM Anuarul Haque's suit on the seizure of his books and T-shirts put on sale at the Kuala Lumpur and Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall by police two years ago, was today rescheduled before another judge.
The suit against the police will now be heard by Justice Su Geok Yiam instead of Justice Hue Siew Kheng and the hearing has been fixed from July 30 to Aug 2.
Initially, the trial was fixed before Justice Hue on April 9 and 10, after it was revealed that mediation on the matter had failed.
The change of judge and date of hearing was revealed by Zunar's lawyer Latheefa Koya before the deputy registrar of the High Court in Kuala Lumpur, M Saravanan.
Zunar filed the legal action last August, against the inspector-general of police and the government for false arrest, breach of statutory duty, negligence and trespass
to goods.
This is on the authorities’ seizure of more than 1,000 cartoon books and 100 T-shirts at the KLSCAH during the "Tea with Zunar" event on Dec 17, 2016.
He named police investigating officer DSP M Gunalan and 17 policemen in the suit. -Mkini
