The Federal Court today heard submissions by a indigenous group from Sarawak challenging the Sarawak Land Code, used to acquire their native customary rights (NCR) land.
This is considered a historic test case as the outcome would affect hundreds of suits brought by Sarawak's indigenous people against the Sarawak government and private companies.
A three-member panel led by justice Ariffin Zakaria presided over the case, involving two separate cases being heard concurrently.
