Holding
The court dismisses the plaintiff's case as he has failed to establish his case on a balance of probabilities.
Facts
In 1997, the plaintiff sold a portion of his land to the defendant for Ksh. 54,000. The defendant made payments and built a home on the land, but failed to provide the plaintiff with a copy of the agreement and settle the balance. The plaintiff now seeks eviction and compensation.
Issues
- Ownership of land parcel N. WANGA/MAYONI/1759
- Validity of the sale agreement
Reasoning
The court found that the plaintiff did not provide evidence of ownership of the land parcel and the defendant's actions were not illegal or unprocedural. The court cannot determine the registered proprietor of the land.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
