Procedural Posture

Saman Pemula Partition of Co Owned Land Under Section 145 National Land Code / Judgment (decision Dated 27 December 2021)

Legal Issues

1. 1 Whether the court should order partition under s.145 NLC
2. 2 Which proposed subdivision plan (HD-2, MS-1 or RCJ-2) is most just, practical and economic
3. 3 Whether built structures (houses) must be preserved or may be demolished in implementing partition

Ratio Decidendi

The court exercised its discretion under s.145 NLC to order partition of the jointly owned land and selected the plaintiffs' alternative plan MS-1 as the just, practical and economic division because it preserves Defendant 6's house built by the Majlis Agama Islam Kelantan, avoids disproportionate hardship, and reasonably accommodates the co-owners despite historical 'kawasan rentahan' not being exclusive or recorded boundaries.

Court Disposition

Permohonan pemecahan hakmilik dibenarkan; mahkamah memerintahkan pemecahan mengikut pelan alternatif Plaintif (MS-1).

Orders

• Partition of GM 293 Lot 334 Mukim Kenor into two parcels (Petak 1 and Petak 2) to be implemented in accordance with plan MS-1 exhibited to the judgment
• Petak 1 to reflect plaintiffs' aggregate share (area recorded as 2.745 acres) and Petak 2 to reflect remaining share (area recorded as 6.665 acres) as per approved plan MS-1
