Holding

The court dismissed the appeal, upholding the lower court's findings and orders.

Facts

The Government compulsorily acquired a portion of the suit property, which included parcels of land known as Kisumu/Kanyakwar 'A' 1841 and 1842. The appellants sought an injunction restraining the 1st respondent from entering and using the acquired land and an order of eviction.

Issues

  1. Appellants' locus standi to seek an injunction
  2. Appellants' claim against the 2nd respondent
  3. Appellants' entitlement to the reliefs sought

Reasoning

The court affirmed the lower court's decision on locus standi, findings of fact, and the entitlement to reliefs, noting that the appellants did not have sufficient interest to sustain their standing to sue.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
