Holding

The application is dismissed with costs to the Defendants.

Facts

Rashid Odede Barasa claims that Peter Barasa, Hillary Wanyonyi Namulundu, and Grace Wanyonyi have invaded his land (L.R. No. SOUTH TESO/ANGOROMO/4323) and are using it without his consent. The Defendants purchased a portion of the land and are in occupation of it.

Issues

  1. Whether the Plaintiff has established a prima facie case for temporary restraining orders.
  2. Whether the Plaintiff is likely to suffer irreparable loss.
  3. Whether the Defendants are capable of dealing with the Plaintiff's land as feared and alleged by the Plaintiff.

Reasoning

The Plaintiff has not shown that the Defendants are capable of dealing with the Plaintiff's land as feared and alleged. The Defendants are not title holders and thus not capable of executing the actions sought by the Plaintiff.

Outcome

Dismissed
