Holding
The court dismissed the application for an injunction due to the plaintiffs' affidavits being fatally defective and without evidence to support their claims.
Facts
Daniel N. Mutua and Alfred Wambua Muange, plaintiffs, sought an injunction against Agnes Ndila Kanua, defendant, to prevent her from interfering with their plots No. 1053 and 1054 in Nguu Ranch Settlement Scheme. The plaintiffs claimed to be registered owners of the plots and that the defendant trespassed on their land.
Issues
- Whether the plaintiffs have a prima facie case to support their application for an injunction.
- Whether the court should grant a mandatory injunction to compel the defendant to vacate the plaintiffs' land.
Reasoning
The court found the plaintiffs' affidavits to be defective and without evidence to support their claims, thus striking off the affidavits and dismissing the application.
