Six Negeri Sembilan Figures Named in Committal Case Granted Stay of Proceedings

The Court of Appeal has granted a stay of committal proceedings against six individuals in Negeri Sembilan, pending the resolution of their appeal against a High Court decision. These proceedings were initiated due to allegations that the six individuals had breached an ad interim injunction order issued by the High Court on June 5. The stay allows for the appeal against the Seremban High Court’s initial decision to proceed without the immediate threat of committal.
Individuals Involved in the Committal Proceedings

The six Negeri Sembilan figures named in the committal case are Datuk Mubarak Thahak, the former Undang Luak Sungai Ujong; Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad, the Undang Luak Jelebu; Datuk Muhammed Abdullah, the Undang Luak Johol; and Datuk Abdul Rahim Yasin, the Undang Luak Rembau. Also named are Tunku Syed Razman Tunku Syed Idrus Al-Qadri, the Tunku Besar Tampin, and Datuk Seri Badarudin Abdul Khalid, the Shahbandar Sungai Ujong. These individuals are central to the legal dispute that led to the contempt of court allegations.
Allegations of Breaching Court Orders

The committal proceedings arose from claims that these six individuals had acted in contravention of an ad interim injunction order. This order was issued by the High Court on June 5, aiming to preserve the status quo. The core of the allegations revolves around actions taken by the plaintiffs, particularly Datuk Maarof Mat Rashad, in relation to the purported appointment of the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan, which allegedly occurred while the injunction was still in effect.
Court of Appeal's Decision on Stay of Proceedings

A three-member bench of the Court of Appeal, led by Datuk Azhahari Kamal Ramli, unanimously allowed the stay of committal proceedings. This decision means that the contempt of court proceedings against the six individuals are paused while they pursue their appeal. The Court of Appeal's ruling provides a temporary reprieve, allowing the legal challenges to their committal to be heard and decided upon by the appellate court.
Background of the Legal Dispute

The legal ramifications trace back to May 5, when Datuk Mubarak and the other five individuals initiated legal action seeking a copy of minutes from a special Dewan Keadilan dan Undang Negeri Sembilan (DKU) meeting. These minutes reportedly contained a decision to remove Datuk Mubarak from his position. The subsequent ad interim injunction was granted to maintain the existing composition of the DKU and its secretary’s position pending further court determination. However, the alleged breach of this injunction led to the application for committal proceedings by the DKU and its secretary, Raja Norazli Raja Nordin.
