Court allows Welfare Dept to further adduce evidence in Rumah Bonda’s appeal

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal here has allowed an application by the Federal Territory Social Welfare Department to adduce further evidence to be included in an appeal brought by Rumah Bonda Kuala Lumpur Welfare Organisation.

Rumah Bonda is appealing against the High Court's decision dated Nov 15, 2021, in dismissing its application to get leave to commence a judicial review to challenge the department’s action to seal the shelter home following allegations of abuse of a 13-year-old girl with Down syndrome, known as Bella.
