Holding

The Plaintiffs have established a prima facie case and the Application for injunction is allowed.

Facts

Kakuzi Limited transferred land parcel L.R. No. 1849 to 32 members in 1978, with each member holding an equal share of 80 acres. In 2008, a surveyor's report purported to give different acreage to different members, leading to disputes.

Issues

  1. Validity of the 2008 survey report
  2. Distribution of the land among the 32 members

Reasoning

The Plaintiffs have shown that the 2008 survey report is inconsistent with the original agreement and that the land should be distributed equally among the members.

Outcome

Application for injunction allowed

Orders

  • Temporary injunction restraining the Respondents from surveying, demarcating, alienating, selling or disposing of the land pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
  • Mandatory injunction directing the Respondents to excise any portion of land in excess of 80 acres for distribution among the Applicants.

Remedies

  • Fair distribution of the land among the 32 members
