THE High Court in Kuala Lumpur has issued ad interim injunctions barring a group of plaintiffs from proceeding with efforts to take control of the Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan (DKU), including a planned move to remove its secretary.
In a ruling delivered today, Judicial Commissioner Roz Mawar Rozain granted the interim orders in an originating summons filed by DKU secretary Raja Norazli Raja Nordin and the council itself.
The court order effectively preserves the status quo, with the defendants stating that an ad interim injunction is “intended to preserve status quo of the matter until the Court is able to hear and decide the matter more fully.”
Among others, the plaintiffs are restrained from convening or holding any DKU meetings, including a special sitting scheduled for today, June 5.
They are also barred from suspending, removing or otherwise interfering with Raja Norazli in carrying out his duties, as well as from setting up any committee or body to assume the secretary’s functions.
The order further prohibits the plaintiffs from making or implementing any decisions concerning the DKU’s “administration, governance, proceedings and affairs,” and from taking any steps that would alter its position as it stood prior to May 21.
With the injunction in place, the defendants said the plaintiffs are now prevented from removing the secretary, conducting DKU affairs, or issuing statements related to the body.
The court order will remain in force pending hearings on jurisdictional and justiciability issues, and until further directions are issued.
Raja Norazli and the DKU were represented by a legal team led by Steven Thiru, alongside David Dinesh Mathew, Shafrin Halim, Gregory Das and Gurjeevan Singh.
The plaintiffs were represented by Awang Armadajaya, Rhiza Ghazi and Asmawi Ismail, while the third defendant was represented by State Legal Adviser Muzalmah Mustapha Kamal and Aala’uddin Baharom. - June 5, 2026
