Holding

The motion is struck out due to the irregularity in the timing of the leave application and the filing of the motion.

Facts

The applicants filed a motion for an order of certiorari to quash the decision of the Busia SRM's court adopting the award of Budalangi Land Disputes Tribunal as the judgment of the Court. The interested party raised preliminary objections regarding the timing of the application for leave and the filing of the motion.

Issues

  1. Timing of Leave Application
  2. Filing of Motion Outside Leave Period
  3. Failure to File Statutory Statement

Reasoning

The applicants obtained leave irregularly and filed the motion outside the statutory period. The failure to file the statutory statement and serve the notice to the Deputy Registrar of the Court renders the motion incompetent.

Outcome

The motion is struck out.
