Holding
The court finds no merit in the plaintiff's case and dismisses it with costs to the defendant.
Facts
The plaintiff Caleb Chelimo Arap Rotich claimed to own a 5-acre plot known as Oljorai Settlement Scheme Plot No. 35, which he sold to the defendant Julius L. Marten for 2.5 acres in 2009. The defendant later claimed ownership of the entire 5 acres and demanded the plaintiff leave the land.
Issues
- Validity of the 2009 agreement
- Enforcement of the plaintiff's injunction and eviction order
- Ownership of the remaining 2.5 acres
Reasoning
The plaintiff sold 2.5 acres to the defendant and received payment, giving the defendant possession and occupation. The plaintiff cannot seek injunctions or eviction orders for the remaining 2.5 acres as he signed the agreement for the entire 5 acres.
Outcome
Dismissed with costs
