Holding
The application is dismissed for lack of merit.
Facts
The plaintiff claims the disputed land No.2156 Kyuso adjudication section, which has a pending appeal at the L.C.C Board, belongs to him. The defendants claim customary rights over the land. The plaintiff's father passed away in 1998, and the dispute has been ongoing since 1968.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiff has a better title to the disputed land than the defendants.
- Whether the plaintiff should be granted temporary and permanent injunctions to prevent the defendants from burying the deceased on the disputed land until the full hearing of the case.
Reasoning
The land in dispute is a Community Land yet to be gazetted for adjudication. The interest of justice is better served by declining the orders sought.
Outcome
Application dismissed
