Harakah’s former printer obtained summary judgment for PAS to pay RM656,233.69 in debt.
The Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court this afternoon allowed NAJ Press Resources (M) Sdn Bhd’s application for summary judgment (court decision without full trial) against PAS and two other defendants.
The other two defendants are PAS secretary-general Takiyuddin Hassan and the party mouthpiece’s publisher Galeri Media Serbanika Sdn Bhd.
When contacted by Malaysiakini, the plaintiff’s counsel Putra Taulan Rasul confirmed judge Lailatul Zuraida Harron allowed the summary judgment bid.
The lawyer added that the civil court also awarded costs of RM3,000.
The defendants' counsel Mohd Faizi Che Abu also confirmed the outcome, adding that they would be appealing to the High Court against the ruling.
They would also apply to stay the lower court ruling, pending disposal of their High Court appeal, he added.
In August 2019, Malaysiakini reported the debt saga involving Harakah and two of its printers at the time - Angkatan Edaran Enterprise Sdn Bhd and NAJ Press Resources.
Angkatan Edaran had been declared bankrupt. However, the same management established NAJ Press Resources as a replacement and continued to print Harakah then. - Mkini
