Court to proceed with Duta Enclave valuation as settlement talks continue
The High Court is moving forward with an assessment of the Duta Enclave property despite ongoing confidential negotiations between Putrajaya and Semantan Estate over potential compensation terms.
LSN Malaysia ·
KUALA LUMPUR — The High Court has decided to continue with the formal valuation process for the Duta Enclave land even as Putrajaya explores an out-of-court settlement with Semantan Estate (1952) Sdn Bhd.
The federal government has tabled a compensation offer to the property owner, with negotiations being conducted under confidentiality agreements. However, the court's decision to proceed with the official assessment suggests the litigation track remains active while settlement discussions advance in parallel.
The case concerns disputed land claims in the Duta area of Putrajaya. Both parties have indicated willingness to resolve the matter, though the terms of any potential settlement remain undisclosed pending completion of negotiations.
Court officials indicated that the valuation process will continue as scheduled, ensuring that either party has a comprehensive property assessment on record should the settlement negotiations conclude or the matter proceed to full adjudication.
No timeline has been announced for the completion of settlement talks or the court's valuation exercise.
