Court rejects six Undang's bid to halt contempt proceedings
PUTRAJAYA: Six disputed Negri Sembilan Undang and chieftains embroiled in the state's royal dispute will have to face contempt of court proceedings at the Seremban High Court.
The Court of Appeal has dismissed the application for a stay by former Undang Luak of Sungai Ujong Datuk Mubarak Thahak and five others, ordering them to pay RM60,000 in costs to the respondents, Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan (DKU) and its secretary Raja Norazli Raja Nordin. The six appellants, comprising four Undangs and two chieftains, had appealed against the Seremban High Court's decision granting DKU and Raja Norazli leave to initiate committal proceedings against them for allegedly breaching an injunction order.
The Court of Appeal unanimously dismissed their application and emphasized that committal proceedings should be dealt with expeditiously in the interest of justice.
