LUMPUR: The High Court here today allowed a bid by the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) to proceed with its legal challenge against the Registrar of Societies’ (RoS) de-registration of the group.
Hindraf’s lawyer, Annou Xavier, when contacted said Judge Datuk Mariana Yahya granted his client’s application for leave for a judicial review after hearing submissions from both parties via online proceedings.
