PKR Youth chief Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad's unlawful assembly case related to the Blackout 505 rally three years ago will move forward in the High Court in Shah Alam.

This came after he withdrew his application to the Court of Appeal for a stay of the proceedings.

"We have withdrawn the (application) for a stay of the proceedings in the High Court.

"So, the case in High Court will proceed," Nik Nazmi's counsel Louis Liaw told reporters at the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya today.

In October last year, Nik Nazmi was charged again, for the same offence of unlawful assembly during the Blackout 505 rally.

This came after the reversal of the Court of Appeal's landmark decision in October last year, where it ruled that Section 9 of the Peaceful Assembly Act, dealing with the 10-day notice of an assembly, was valid and constitutional.

That ruling appeared to go against the precedent set by the same court in Nik Nazmi's case in April 2014, which ruled that the 10-day notice was unconstitutional.

Despite that acquittal, the Attorney-General's Chambers attempted to charge Nik Nazmi for the second time in May of the same year for the same offence, though the bid was struck out by the Petaling Jaya Sessions Court.

This is Nik Nazmi's third time being charged for the same offence.

The case will be heard before Justice Ghazali Cha in the High Court  in Shah Alam, with the hearing fixed for Jan 27 next year.
