PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal has ordered two landfill operators to pay RM100,000 in damages to water supply company SAJ Ranhill Sdn Bhd for negligence.

A three-member bench, comprising Justices Datuk Has Zanah Mehat, Datuk Che Mohd Ruzima Ghazali and Datuk See Mee Chun, made the order after allowing an appeal by SAJ Ranhill, which operates a water treatment plant in Simpang Renggam, Kluang, Johor, to set aside a High Court's dismissal of their claim in 2021.
