Student activist Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi has filed an application for his legal challenge against Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia to be heard by the same judge slotted to hear a similar challenge against Universiti Malaya.

Asheeq's lawyer, A Surandra, said the application was made to avoid conflicting judgments between two judges hearing a similar case challenging the constitutionality of the universities' decision to suspend students for their involvement in last August's "Tangkap MO1" rally.
