Court fixes Sept 23 for decision on bid to strike out Deepak’s suit against Boustead over land in Selangor

KUALA LUMPUR (Aug 26): The High Court today has fixed Sept 23 for its decision on whether to strike out a suit by carpet businessman Deepak Jaikishan against Boustead Holdings Bhd and its subsidiaries over 223.33 acres of lands in Kapar and Bukit Raja, Selangor.

High Court judge Datuk Mohd Firuz Jaffril had heard the submissions by the defendants, Boustead and its subsidiaries Bakti Wira Development Sdn Bhd and Cebur Megah Development Sdn Bhd, as well as the Federal Land Commissioner, UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd and Suntrack Development Sdn Bhd.

The defendants sought to strike out the suit on the grounds that there is another suit in a different court concerning the same matter.

It also argued that the allegations made against the group are frivolous and vexatious, do not disclose a reasonable cause of action and amount to an abuse of process.

In the suit, Deepak alleged that the defendants sought to wrongfully deprive him of two plots of land in Kapar, Klang, measuring 96.83 acres and 81.09 acres respectively and 45.42 acres of land in Bukit Raja, Petaling.

Deepak is suing for:

●general, exemplary and aggravated damages;

●a permanent injunction to restrain Cebur Megah, the Federal Land Commissioner, UMW Toyota Motor and Suntrack from conducting any dealings with land in question;

●an order of specific performance against Cebur Megah, the Federal Land Commissioner, UMW Toyota Motor and Suntrack;

●the return of the lands to his company Astacanggih Sdn Bhd;

●the imposition of an interest rate of 5% per annum on the award until the date of payment;

●costs and other reliefs deemed fit by the court.
