The originating summons for vacant possession was dismissed because the Court was bound by earlier judgments declaring Defendant No.2 the beneficial owner, the plaintiff is an adjudged bankrupt so the Director General of Insolvency is the proper beneficial owner/trustee, and Order 89 is inappropriate where triable issues and competing rights exist; therefore plaintiff lacks locus standi to bring Order 89 proceedings.

Case number

JA-24NCVC-541-10/2018 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

Application dismissed because the Court found the 2nd Defendant to be the beneficial owner as previously declared by the High Court and upheld by the Court of Appeal, meaning the plaintiff lacked locus standi to bring a summary Order 89 proceeding; Order 89 is limited to trespassers simpliciter and not appropriate where ownership disputes or triable issues exist; additionally the plaintiff is an adjudged bankrupt and the beneficial interest is subject to the Director General of Insolvency, further displacing the plaintiff's capacity to maintain the claim.
