Holding

Facts
The plaintiff and defendant disputed the boundaries of two parcels of land, Nyeri/Watuka/739 and Nyeri/Watuka/738. The previous judgment ordered the Land Registrar to revisit the parcels and determine their boundaries according to acreage.

Orders
- Recall the titles for Nyeri/Watuka/738 and Nyeri/Watuka/739 for amendment of their respective acreages
