The court found the plaintiff's documentary evidence including the 1987 trust deed and transaction records established a clear beneficial interest of 17,028/898,315 shares; defendants failed to disclose any bona fide triable defence or alternative factual computation; the alleged subsequent sale did not override the pre-existing beneficial interest nor did D9 prove bona fide purchaser without notice. Accordingly, summary judgment under Order 14 was appropriate and the court granted declaratory relief and mandatory and prohibitory injunctions together with costs RM8,000.
