The appeal to the High Court to obtain documents related to “Lot 6” where the Canossian Convent of Banda Hilir has stood for 120 years. The area is also home to a primary and secondary school that accommodate hundreds of students. The title deed was lost during World War II with the Japanese invasion.
Attorney Joy Appukuttan, who represents the religious sisters and the Portuguese Mission, explained in court that the property has been repeatedly identified as the “Portuguese Convent” in documents signed in the past and submitted to the courts. The congregation and mission claim that the deed, issued during the Dutch occupation, was in the custody of Catholic priest Fr. Alvaro Martins Corado during World War II.
Nevertheless, in a letter dated March 8, 2022, the state authorities stated that they were not competent to award the title to the applicants. Hence, the applicants chose to seek permission to initiate the present legal proceedings two months later, in May 2022.
