Facts

The plaintiff, Njagi Kanampiu, filed an application for contempt of court against the defendants, Kellen Nchunguni Riungu and others, alleging that the defendants were tampering with the boundaries of the land. The plaintiff claimed to be the sole registered owner of the land and sought an order for the district land registrar/surveyor to delineate and mark the boundaries.

Issues

1. Contempt of court
2. Boundary disputes
3. Ownership of land

Reasoning

The court found that the defendants had tampered with the boundaries of the land, making it impossible to identify the boundaries and execute the order for contempt of court. The court deemed it prudent to order the surveyor to visit the site and ascertain the boundaries.

Outcome

The application was granted.
