Holding
The Plaintiff's allegations of fraud and illegality were not proven to the required standard, and the transfer and subsequent subdivision of the land were not declared null and void.
Facts
The Plaintiff, Philip Kimutai Langat, sought to have the transfer and subsequent subdivision of land parcel No. Kericho/Sosiot/604 to the Defendant, Kibet Maina, declared null and void. The Plaintiff alleged fraud and illegality in the registration and subsequent subdivision of the land.
Issues
- Whether there was fraud involved in the registration of the No. Kericho/Sosiot/604 to the Defendant.
- Whether the subsequent subdivision of No. Kericho/Sosiot/604 into No. Kericho/Sosiot/1655 and 1656 was therefore null and void.
- Whether the Plaintiff has any cause of action against the Defendant herein?
- Who should pay the cost of the suit?
Reasoning
The court found that the Plaintiff failed to prove the allegations of fraud and illegality, and thus the transfer and subsequent subdivision of the land were not null and void.
Outcome
The Plaintiff's claims were dismissed.
