Abdul Latif Bin Puteh & 347 Others v Pentadbir Tanah Jajahan Pasir Mas & Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan

This appeal involved 348 appellants challenging the High Court's decision to strike out their claim regarding rights to rubber trees planted on unalienated state land in Kelantan. The appellants, who had participated in a FELCRA scheme since the 1980s, claimed rights to rubber trees they planted, despite not owning the land. The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that the rubber trees were part of the land under the National Land Code and the appellants had no legal or equitable rights to them. The court also rejected claims of negligence, conspiracy, and unjust enrichment.
