KUALA LUMPUR: A developer is challenging the acquisition of its land in Ijok by the Kuala Selangor District and Land office.
Gaya Perkasa Sdn Bhd is applying to the High Court (Appellate and Special Powers) to quash the order made by the land administrator on Oct 6 last year.
It is asking for a stay over the order given to the land administrator.
It has named the Selangor Government, the land administrator, its district office, Selangor Housing and Property Board and the Selangor Mentri Besar as respondents in the application.
Judge Justice Abang Iskandar Abang Hashim set Dec 17 before a deputy registrar for parties to sort out documents for an inter-parte (between the parties) stay application hearing.
The judge fixed the date after meeting the parties in chambers yesterday.
Selangor state legal advisor Ahmad Fuad Othman, who acted for the state government and the land administrator, said that Gaya Perkasa was asking for the return of the land and compensation.
Ahmad Fuad said Gaya Perkasa bought the land after it was auctioned off by a bank.
“This developer (Gaya Perkasa) bought the land thinking that there was no liability attached to it. The land was acquired by the land office last year. It was later given to a private company by the Selangor Government.
“The government then took over the land from the private company to revive an abandoned housing project there,” he said.
Gaya Perkasa lawyers Chan Siew Cheong and Lim Fang Kee confirmed that the ex-parte (by one party) stay over the order was granted by the court on Jan 10. - The Star
