KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 25): Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) and the developer of the proposed Taman Rimba Kiara project are appealing the Court of Appeal's decision to quash the development order for the project.

A lawyer representing the Taman Tun Dr Ismail Resident's Association, which had gone to the court to stop the project, confirmed that an appeal has been filed with the Federal Court by DBKL and Memang Perkasa Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Malton Bhd.

“Yes their application for leave to appeal has been filed. I think the respondents filed it either on Tuesday or yesterday,” said lawyer Aliff Benjamin Suhaimi when contacted by theedgemarkets.com.

In civil proceedings, appellants are given 30 days to file their appeal.
