KUALA LUMPUR: Perikatan Nasional has applied to the High Court for permission to initiate committal proceedings against the Registrar of Societies (RoS) over the revocation of its registration.

PN claimed the move amounted to contempt of court as it was made before its application for a stay of the decision was heard.

The application was filed by PN secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan and four other party leaders, naming Registrar of Societies Datuk Mohd Zulfikar Ahmad as the respondent.

Lawyer Rafique Rashid Ali confirmed that the application was filed yesterday.
