The court held that the plaintiff was entitled to summary possession under Order 89 because the occupiers at best held non‑registrable licences or unprotected equities arising from purchases of undivided shares; such rights do not bind the registered proprietor who holds indefeasible title under the National Land Code, and there were no triable issues requiring a plenary trial.

JA-22NCvC-145-10/2022 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

The court held Defendant 2's strike‑out application must succeed because the plaintiff failed to show any evidence that a Deed of Assignment or Power of Attorney created registered proprietary rights under the Torrens system, the alleged part‑transfer would be contrary to s214 NLC, and the claim is time‑barred under the Limitation Act and subject to laches; consequently the claim against Defendant 2 disclosed no reasonable cause and was struck out with costs; the plaintiff's application to add the subsequent registered purchaser was denied.

Application dismissed: filed out of time; notice to vacate by registered private owner is a private law act not amenable to judicial review; State cannot cancel or reallocate title already validly alienated and registered to Respondent 1 under the National Land Code; alleged promises by the former Menteri Besar lacked necessary authority, evidence and legal effect to create enforceable legitimate expectation; applicants are squatters without proprietary rights enforceable against registered owner.

The Settlement Cum Collateral Agreements were Tomlin‑type contractual arrangements that did not create a registrable proprietary interest in the subject property; defendants lacked authority from the co‑proprietor to encumber the whole property; plaintiff was a bona fide purchaser for value without notice and thus aggrieved under s 327 NLC; accordingly the defendants' private caveats were wrongful and were removed, with costs assessed at RM5,000.

Defendant lacked any present registrable/caveatable interest because her beneficial entitlement was contingent on the death of the executrix; future or potential interests do not qualify as caveatable interests under the National Land Code, therefore the caveats were ordered removed and the plaintiff's application allowed.
