Former Sungai Ujong Undang and five others fail to halt contempt proceedings

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.
