JUDGMENT

Azman Abdullah JCA:

Introduction

[1] This is an appeal by the appellant/applicant against the decision of the High Court dated 3 August 2022, whereby the learned High Court Judge ("the learned HCJ") had dismissed the appellant's land reference for the acquisition of the land known as Lot 25900, Mukim Setapak, Kuala Lumpur ("scheduled land").

The Appellant will be referred to as the applicant and the respondent, Pentadbir Tanah Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, will be referred to as the Land Administrator.
