Holding

The application is not merited and the status quo is maintained pending the hearing and determination of the matter.

Facts

The applicant Charles Lukoye Shiyuka has occupied and developed land parcel Butsotso/Shikoti/2648 for over 40 years, building a permanent residence. The respondents James Muyanda Nduku and George Mzee Maramba Muyandu are the registered proprietors after succession and have threatened to evict the applicant.

Issues

  1. Whether the applicant has a prima facie case with a probability of success at the trial.
  2. Whether the applicant will suffer irreparable damage if the injunction is not granted.
  3. Whether the Court should grant the injunction on a balance of convenience.

Reasoning

The Court finds the applicant's claim not merited due to the respondents' assertion that the applicant is actually on a different parcel of land (Butsotso/Shikoti/14329).

Outcome

Denied

Orders

  • Status quo maintained pending the hearing and determination of the matter.
