Holding
The plaintiff is not entitled to any prayers in the originating summons and the suit is dismissed.
Facts
The plaintiff, Patrick Lawrence Seki, claimed that he purchased land (LR No.209/8192/1) from the deceased and his late husband, Emmanuel Kisanane Njau, for Kshs.9,700,000. The defendant, Rose Njau Tarimo, contested the claim, alleging that the signatures on the indenture of conveyance were forged.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiff and the deceased sold the suit property to the plaintiff.
- Whether the deceased and the defendant signed the indenture of conveyance dated 10th July 1996.
- Whether the plaintiff is entitled to the reliefs in the suit.
Reasoning
The plaintiff failed to produce a sale agreement or evidence of payment, and the indenture of conveyance was found to be a forgery. The court found that the plaintiff was aware of the deceased's death and the defendant's absence, and that the forged document was convenient for the plaintiff's fraudulent scheme.
