Holding
The Plaintiffs are legally and rightfully entitled to the proprietorship to all the suit land, and the Defendants are not entitled to the possession and ownership of the land.
Facts
The Plaintiffs and Defendants disputed ownership of a parcel of land, L.R. No. Nyandarua/Olkalou South/1698, with previous disputes and transfers involving the Settlement Fund Trustee and the District Officer.
