Holding
The Petition is dismissed with each party bearing their own costs due to the premature nature of the petition and the lack of evidence to determine ownership.
Facts
The Petitioners claim ownership of land parcel Makueni/Ikalyoni/2148 purchased by their father Dominic Mulonzi Ngovi from the late Edward Mulandi Kavanda in 1984. The land was used by the Petitioners' grandmother until 1998, when a dispute arose with Julius Kiio Mulandi, son of Edward Mulandi Kavanda.
Issues
- Ownership of the land parcel Makueni/Ikalyoni/2148
- Proper procedure for resolving the land dispute
Reasoning
The dispute cannot be decided in this petition as it requires viva voce evidence and cross-examination. Julius Kiio Mulandi has an interest in the land but was not enjoined in this petition.
Outcome

Orders
- Each party bears their own costs
