TypeLand SuitPostureAppeal from the original trial outcomeCoramL. GACHERU
Holding

The suit is stayed until the final determination of Criminal Case No.271 of 2017 pending at Milimani Law Courts.

Facts

The Plaintiffs applied to the Commissioner of Lands for allocation of land and subsequent registration of the suit property. A gang of men unknown to the Plaintiffs trespassed and purported to survey the property, which was fraudulently conducted by the 1st Defendant.

Issues

  1. Validity of approvals and entries made in respect of the property
  2. Legal representation of the 1st Plaintiff
  3. Preservation of the suit property

Reasoning

The court is uncertain about the outcome of criminal charges against the Plaintiffs' legal representatives and cannot declare who is the rightful legal representative. The preservation of the suit property is maintained by maintaining the prevailing status quo.

Outcome

Stay of the suit

Orders

  • Maintenance of status quo on the suit property
  • No further subdivision, alienation, charging or transferring of the suit property until further orders
