The High Court today set Nov 30 to hear an application by UMNO secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor and another person to strike out a suit by Anina Saadudin on her termination as an UMNO member.
Judicial Commissioner S. Nantha Balan set the date in chambers in the presence of lawyers Norhazira Abu Haiyan, representing Tengku Adnan and UMNO executive-secretary Datuk Ab Rauf Yusoh, and Aizul Rohan Anuar and Irzan Iswat Mohd Noor, for Anina.
Norhazira, when met by reporters, said Tengku Adnan and Ab Rauf filed the application to strike out the suit by Anina last Oct 5 on grounds that the decision to sack Anina by Umno was final, conclusive and cannot be taken to court in line with Section 18C of the Societies Act Section 18C of the Societies Act 1966 states that the decision of a political party shall be final and conclusive and such decision cannot be challenged, appealed against, reviewed, quashed or called into question in any court.
Meanwhile, Aizul Rohan said the court also allowed the defendants to postpone filing of their defence statement pending decision on their application to strike out the suit.
Anina filed the suit last Sept 11, claiming that Tengku Adnan had issued two letters, dated Sept 1 and 2, 2015, on her termination as an UMNO member and the letters were distributed to the media and the public before they were served to her personally.
She claimed that on Sept 3, she sent a letter to Tengku Adnan to express her objection against the issuance and content of the letters dated Sept 1 and Sept 2 and gave him three days to withdraw the letters, which he failed to do.
Anina said Tengku Adnan had no power under Umno's Constitution or law to terminate her membership.
She is seeking a court order that the letters dated Sept 1 and 2 on her termination as UMNO member were null and void, as well as damages, cost and other relief deemed fit by the court.
