Court dismisses assemblyman's injunction application against landowner

KOTA BHARU: A Kelantan state assemblyman today failed to obtain an injunction order to prevent the owner of a piece of land in Salor from allowing any party to hold activities in Wisma Tok Guru, a building built on the property by the former owner.
Judicial commissioner Datuk Ahmad Bache set aside Salor assemblyman Datuk Husam Musa's application with RM7,000 costs.
In his decision, the judge said the court took into account the defendant Mohd Yasin Yusoff's right to the land as he had already paid for the property.
Husam, who is also Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) vice president applied for the injunction to prevent Wisma Tok Guru from being disturbed by any quarters until the building ownership status quo had been determined by the court in a hearing on Dec 4.
The issue surfaced when the land which had belonged to late former Salor assemblyman Datuk Ahmad Rosli Ibrahim, who had named his wife as beneficiary, was sold to Mohd Yasin, who is also Kelantan PAS executive secretary, for RM700, 000.
Husam who is still using the building as his office as Salor assemblyman claimed the original owner of the land had given him permission to do so.
Meanwhile, PAS sent a notice to Husam to vacate the building in one month by Nov 12, and the party also planned to hold thanksgiving prayers tonight on the new ownership.
Speaking to reporters, the defendant's counsel Datuk Takiyuddin Hassan said the prayer session would proceed as the party had already obtained a permit from the police. – Bernama
