PETALING JAYA: The High Court has granted an application for leave for judicial review by Convent Bukit Nanas to challenge the government’s decision to not extend the school’s land lease. The application for judicial review was filed on April 7 on behalf of the Lady Superior of the Society of Saint Maur, the corporate entity operating the Convent Bukit Nanas school. In the judicial review application sighted by The Star, the Federal Territories Lands and Mines director was named as the sole respondent. According to the document, the school had written to the Lands and Mines office on Oct 4, 2017, to seek an extension of the land lease. The lease is due to expire on Sept 6, 2021, and the school is seeking a stay against the authority’s decision.
