"Based on the development of this case, the judicial review hearing has been postponed to Aug 18," said Lim.
Syed Saddiq, who is the founder of MUDA, and 12 others, filed the application on April 26 and had obtained leave to initiate a judicial review's application on May 25.
In the application, they are seeking a mandamus order for the Home Minister to reach a decision under Section 18 of the Societies Act 1966 on their appeal against the RoS' decision in refusing to register MUDA as a political party on Jan 6, seven days after a court ruling, as well as damages and other relief, deemed fit by the court.
On Feb 4, MUDA submitted an appeal on its registration as a political party to RoS and Home Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin.
The application form to register MUDA as a political party was submitted to the RoS in September last year, but was rejected in January this year.
