The High Court in Kuala Lumpur today fixed Feb 11 next year to hear the police and government's striking out application of a suit filed by then Umno organising secretary Abdul Rauf Yusoh (above) to recover purported party funds amounting to RM116.7 million seized by the police last May.
Justice Nik Hasmat Nik Mohamed reportedly declined to hear Umno's discovery application and wanted to hear the striking out application first.
As a result, lawyer Hariharan Singh Tara Singh for Umno told reporters the judge fixed Feb 11 for hearing.
It was previously reported that the police and the government applied to strike out the suit based on Umno's legal standing to initiate the suit in the first place against the police and government.
They are also claiming that the matter is still being investigated and they are protected under the Police Act 1967.
