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.
The counsel said the evidence is a new development relating to the case following a Magistrate's Court order on July 15 last year to remove the seal with condition that Rumah Bonda would not be operated as a care centre until and unless it has been registered under the Care Centres Act 1993. The shelter home was subjected to closure on July 12, 2021, after receiving a notice from the department for not being registered under the Care Centres Act.
On April 20, 2022, Rumah Bonda received RM5,000 compound notice under Section 21A and Section 24 of the Care Centres Act. After a meeting with committee members, the shelter home agreed to pay the compound.
