Summary at a glance

TypeJudicial ReviewPostureEx parte Application for Certiorari, Prohibition and MandamusCoramHON. A. Y. KOROSS
The chamber summons is not merited, and the application is dismissed with no orders as to costs.

Facts

The suit property was registered in the names of Saul Ogol Misula and James Owino as tenants in common. The Land Disputes Tribunal awarded the property to Amos Warambo Abade, who subsequently subdivided it.

Issues

  • Whether the ex parte applicant should be granted leave to institute judicial review proceedings against the respondents outside the mandatory six-month period.

Reasoning

Outcome

The application is dismissed with no orders as to costs.

Orders
