SHAH ALAM: The High Court here has fixed Nov 24 for case management of the Attorney-General’s application challenging the Selangor Government circular directing government servants to assist in Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) investigations during office hours.
The circular adds that civil servants should do so in the presence of their lawyers.
Deputy registrar Mankiranjit Kaur fixed the date in chambers to enable the A-G, Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail, to get sealed copies of the application and affidavits filed by the Selangor government on Sept 4 to strike out his originating summons.
The state government’s counsel Yusmadi Yusoff told repor-ters that his client had not yet received the sealed copies of the legal papers to serve on the A-G.
On Aug 20, Abdul Gani filed an originating summons in the High Court registrar’s office here for an order to declare as null and void the circular dated July 28, issued by State Secretary Datuk Ramli Mahmud.
Abdul Gani also named Ramli as a defendant.
On Sept 4, the Selangor state government filed an application to set aside the originating summons, together with a supporting affidavit to oppose the AGs application.
It argues that the A-G has no locus standi to initiate the proceedings and that the proper party to do so was the MACC.
