Based on the provided legal document, the Court of Appeal in Putrajaya held that the State Authority lacked the power to convert land tenure from freehold to leasehold, rendering such actions ultra vires and invalid under the relevant land law and constitutional property rights (!) (!) (!) . The Court emphasized that any act performed beyond the lawful powers granted by the law cannot be binding or create estoppel, especially when the act is ultra vires (!) (!) .

Furthermore, the Court clarified that principles such as estoppel and caveat emptor do not apply when the actions of the authority are outside its legal authority, and that constitutional protections under art 13 of the Federal Constitution prevent arbitrary deprivation of property without lawful basis (!) (!) . The decision reaffirmed that land titles issued in error due to unlawful actions are null and void, and the rights of property owners must be protected in accordance with constitutional provisions (!) (!) .

In summary, the Court dismissed the appeal, ruling that the conversion of land from freehold to leasehold without proper authority is invalid, and that property rights in this context cannot be overridden by estoppel or buyer beware principles when such actions are ultra vires (!) .
