Holding
The petition is withdrawn with no orders as to costs.
Facts
The petitioner, Zipporah Jebichii Seroney, seeks a declaration of a valid land transfer and an order quashing the cancellation of the interested party's ownership status. The interested party, Silverland Limited, opposes the withdrawal, arguing that the title of the land in dispute is likely to be cancelled without the interested party's right to be heard.
Issues
- Validity of land transfer
- Cancellation of ownership status
- Right to be heard
Reasoning
The court allows the notice of withdrawal as the petitioner has the right to discontinue the petition at any stage of the proceedings prior to verdict or judgment. The court is guided by the constitutional principle of alternative dispute resolution.
Outcome
