Holding
The Plaintiff is entitled to an injunction to protect his interest in the suit property pending the determination of the mortgage issue.
Facts
The Plaintiff purchased a house from the 1st and 2nd Defendants on May 18, 2009. The Plaintiff claims to have paid a total of Kshs.26,862,787/=, but the 1st and 2nd Defendants claim he owes them Kshs.13,811,786.90. The 3rd Defendant, who had previously mortgaged the land to the 1st and 2nd Defendants, now demands Kshs.8,000,000/= from them.
Issues

Outcome
The application for interlocutory injunction is allowed.
