: The High Court ruled that the disputed 263.272 acres of land in Mukim Batu, here, known as the ‘Duta Enclave’, should be returned to Semantan Estate Sdn Bhd , hence declaring the government’s 1956 acquisition of the land invalid.
“Prior to the acquisition, the land belonged to the plaintiff and had the acquisition been valid and lawful, the land would belong to the government,” said the judge. The disputed land, located in the prime Jalan Duta area, houses government buildings, including the National Hockey Stadium, the Malaysian Institute of Integrity, the National Archives, the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court, the Inland Revenue Board building and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission Academy.
Additionally, the judge instructed the Land Registrar to register Semantan Estate as the proprietor of the land, finalise all transfer documentation, and issue the land title documents in the plaintiff’s name, free from any encumbrances or liabilities.
