KUALA LUMPUR, July 8 — Datuk Seri G. Palanivel has refused to accept a High
Court injunction stopping him from carrying out duties as MIC president until he
receives a letter from the court.
“I have not been served with any court order or any court document,” he said, adding that he was aware of the injunction obtained against him.
Palanivel said even if he received any court papers, it would not mean he would take it lying down.
“If and when the court papers are served on me, I will obtain legal advice and deal with the matter accordingly,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The High Court granted an injunction on Monday after Ampang Jaya MIC branch chairman Datuk N. Muneandy filed an application on Friday with the consent of the party’s 2009 interim Central Working Committee (CWC).
The order also stops Palanivel from holding gatherings in the party and from approving resolutions on behalf of MIC.
MIC communication and public relations bureau head Datuk Seri S. Vell Paari said Muneandy’s lawyers had been trying to hand over the court documents to Palanivel since yesterday morning.
“They went to his house, his car was there but apparently he was not in, so a family member came out of the house and collected the documents,” he said.
“She identified herself as Palanivel’s wife’s sister.”
Vell Paari said Muneandy’s lawyers received a call from a legal firm representing Palanivel at about 3pm and asked that the documents be sent to their office.
