Holding

The applicant's application is misconceived and dismissed with costs to the respondents.

Facts

The deceased, Sawe Bargero Barechok, was a shareholder of Tuwan Farm Limited and owned plot No. 4546 at Tuwan Farm measuring half an acre. The respondents trespassed on the suit land and started digging up holes for high masts and an office.

Issues

  1. Whether the suit land belongs to the deceased
  2. Whether the applicant has a prima facie case with probability of success
  3. Whether the applicant will suffer loss which will not be compensated in damages
  4. Whether the balance of convenience favours the applicant

Reasoning

The applicant has failed to demonstrate a prima facie case with probability of success. The suit land was a public utility plot and the applicant has never occupied the land. The balance of convenience does not favour the applicant.

Outcome

Dismissed with costs
