The Revising Officer's decision was quashed because he failed to identify which male ancestor(s) of the 84 persons were indigenous inhabitants who resided at Luk Keng in 1898 and therefore failed to give adequate reasons; ownership of land in the names of long‑deceased ancestors was insufficient to establish residence in 1898 and could not substitute for the required genealogical link to an ancestor resident in 1898.
