Holding
The court held that the Defendant is the rightful owner of the suit properties and is not required to transfer them to the Plaintiff.
Facts
The Plaintiff, Anthony Mwenga Mavua, claimed to have purchased and registered the suit properties in the name of the Defendant, Pius Mutua Mwenga, as a trustee. The Defendant, however, claimed to have purchased the land and registered it in his own name.
Issues
- Who is the rightful owner of the suit properties (Mitaboni/Mutituni/1753 and Athi River/Athi River/Block 1/1235)?
- Whether the Defendant is required to transfer the land back to the Plaintiff on demand as a trustee?
Reasoning
The court found that the Defendant's mother purchased the land in 1984 and registered it in his name during the adjudication process. The Plaintiff's evidence was not credible, and he did not produce evidence to support his claims.
