PETALING JAYA: Ten Negeri Sembilan assemblymen have gone to court to challenge the revocation of their appointments as state executive councillors last month.

The 10 assemblymen filed an originating summons against the Negeri Sembilan state secretary and the Negeri Sembilan government as defendants, Berita Harian reported.

In their application to the Seremban High Court on Monday, they sought a declaration that the revocation of their appointment was null, invalid and of no effect.

They also questioned whether the appointment of exco members, other than the menteri besar, could be revoked solely through the withdrawal of consent by the Yang Dipertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan without the advice of the menteri besar.
