LUMPUR:The High Courtin Melaka ruled yesterday thatthe land housing the 120-year-old Sacred Heart Convent schoolbelongs to the state government.  \nThe respondent argued thatLot 6 is state land,was neverlegally registered under the ap-plicants’names,and that theDutch Title Deed was merely alotindex,not an ownership docu-ment.  \nJudge Datuk Mohd Radzi Ab-dul Hamid made the ruling whiledismissing the Canossian Sisters'and the Portuguese Mission's le-gal claim to the land,known asLot 6.  \nMeanwhile,the applicants ar-gued that they had a pre-existinglegal and beneficial ownershipinterest in Lot 6 and the respon-dent's refusal to perform their le-gal duty to issue the replacementtitle was illegal.  \nThe suit,filed in May 2022,wasbrought by two statutory entitiesclaiming ownership of the prop-erty,which had been occupiedand administered by the Por-tuguese Mission and the Canos-sian Sisters since 1905.  \nDissatisfied with the respon-dent's decision,the applicantsthen filed a judicial review,seek-ing a court determination on the.matter.  \nThe land,located near the A'Famosa hill fort,originallyhoused the Portuguese MissionGirls'School,which was later re-named Convent of the SacredHeart and is now known as SKSacred Heart Convent under theEducation Ministry.  \nRadzi,in his ruling,said pos-session and occupation were dis-tinct legal rights and could not besynonymous with ownership.  \n\"This court does not find anydocument that clearly points tothe applicants'legal title to Lot 6and that it was registered in ei-ther of their names.  \nThe applicants claimed that aDutch Title Deed had been issuedfor the land before the NationalLand Code Act 1963 came intoeffect.  \n\"Thus,this court does not findthat the applicants,on the bal-ance of probabilities,have showna pre-existing interest in thelegal and beneficial ownership ofLot 6,\"he said in his grounds ofjudgment published on the judi-ciary website.  \nHowever,the title deed,whichwas said to have been in the
