Holding

The court dismissed the 2nd Plaintiff's application for an injunction, finding that the grounds raised in the application were the same as those in a previous application that was dismissed.

Facts

The 2nd Plaintiff is the legal administrator of the estate of Ferdinand Kahindi Mwaro. The 1st Defendant, Diamond Trust Bank Kenya Limited, advertised the sale of a property known as Kilifi/Ngerenyi/909, which the 2nd Plaintiff claims is her late husband's burial site.

Issues

  1. Whether the sale of the property is illegal due to the presence of a grave
  2. Whether the 2nd Plaintiff is a necessary party to the suit
  3. Whether the signature on the transfer document is forged

Reasoning

The court dismissed the application as it found that the grounds raised were the same as those in a previous application that was already dismissed.

Outcome

Application dismissed

Orders

  • Restraining the Defendants from proceeding with the intended public auction sale of the property pending the hearing of the application
