The Court held that the proper remedy for any deprivation of NCR resulting from alienation is damages under s.197 Sarawak Land Code (per TR Nyutan and Husli), that the plaintiffs had knowledge of the alienation (evidenced by MACC report in 1995) so their claim was filed outside the statutory limitation under s.202 and PAPA s.2(a), that alleged fraud pleaded only in the Reply could not revive limitation, and therefore the declaratory reliefs were unsustainable and the action was struck out; the Court allowed the appeal and set aside the High Court order.
