The High Court in Melaka had this morning heard SDP’s application for leave for judicial review, where the government-linked company sought the court’s nod to go ahead with its legal challenge against GI A Resources Sdn Bhd’s attempt to compulsorily acquire 75.07 hectares of its land in Merlimau in Melaka’s Jasin district.

SDP had about over two weeks earlier served the court papers for its leave for judicial review to the AGC, which plays the role of custodian where it decides whether to object or not to object to applications for leave for judicial review. Among other things, Lum said GI A Resources’ lawyers had advised him that SDP was allegedly required to have filed its legal challenge within three months of the receiving of Borang E dated October 1, 2018. .

But Rosli argued that SDP had filed its lawsuit “well within time” and “well within the 90-day period” as the oral award of the RM35.28 million compensation was made on March 27, 2019 and the Borang H — another part of the land acquisition process — was just recently served on May 2, 2019.
