On the court record
The reported matters span land-acquisition and mental-health work, grounded in High Court judgments rather than any ranking.
Ananthan A/L Nithya Moorthi's reported matters cover land acquisition and mental-health law, argued in the High Court. Two of the matters concern the compulsory acquisition of land. In one, arising in the context of a rapid-transit project, the question was whether the amount of compensation awarded was appealable where no issue of law had been raised, and whether the market value fixed for the scheduled land by the Land Administrator was correct; appearing for a respondent, the matter engaged the limits on challenging a compensation award that turns on valuation rather than law. In another, the issue was the time of a compulsory acquisition, and in particular whether the date of acquisition falls when the land is gazetted under section 4 or under section 8 of the Land Acquisition Act 1960; appearing for a respondent, the matter turned on the correct statutory reference point.
The profile also reaches an unusual area. In an ex parte originating summons under subsection 58(1) and sections 63 and 64 of the Mental Health Act 2001, concerning the management of the affairs or estate of a person, he appeared for the applicant, and the Court allowed the application with no order as to costs, a matter that engages the court's protective jurisdiction over those unable to manage their own affairs.
A thread across these decisions is the operation of statutory schemes that determine entitlement and protection, from the compensation payable and the timing of a compulsory acquisition under the Land Acquisition Act 1960, to the management of a vulnerable person's affairs under the Mental Health Act 2001, argued in the High Court of Malaya. The reported work thus spans land-acquisition and mental-health fields, grounded in the judgments rather than any ranking, and reflects a practice engaged with the statutory frameworks that govern land and personal capacity.
