Dr Mahathir Mohamad and five others have filed an application for an interim injunction to maintain the status quo pending the disposal of their main legal action against their termination from Bersatu.
This was confirmed by their counsel Mohamed Haniff Khatri Abdulla this afternoon, who explained that the interlocutory application would come up for hearing before the Kuala Lumpur High Court on June 18.
On June 9, it was reported that disputed Bersatu chairperson Mahathir and the six had filed the legal action against Prime Minister and Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin and three others.
The five other plaintiffs are former party deputy president Mukhriz Mahathir, former party youth chief Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, former supreme council members Maszlee Malik, Amiruddin Hamzah and former secretary-general Marzuki Yahya.
The political party Bersatu was listed as the seventh plaintiff.
Besides Muhyiddin, the other three defendants are Home Minister and Bersatu secretary-general Hamzah Zainuddin, Registrar of Societies (ROS) director-general Masyati Abang Ibrahim and Bersatu organising secretary Muhammad Suhaimi Yahya.
Haniff today said that the current interlocutory application seeks among others “certain injunction prayers to maintain the status quo of all parties and Bersatu until disposal of trial”.
“Our firm had also, yesterday, June 11, 2020, filed a notice of application for the purpose of seeking several interim injunction orders, which is believed should be expedited, before hearing of the writ of summons action (main suit) is disposed of at the court,” he said.
Haniff said that the court this afternoon fixed 4.30pm on Thursday next week to hear the application and that they will serve copies of the application on all four defendants by early next week.
Haniff also said they served the cause papers for the main legal action on all the defendants today, and the main suit has been fixed for case management on July 9. - Mkini
