Facts

The suit land is registered in the name of Stephen Mungai Kanake, who died on 9/8/2004. The Respondents claim to have purchased portions of the land and are currently excavating stones from it.

Issues

  1. Whether the Appellant/Applicant is entitled to an injunction to restrain the Respondents from excavating, cutting trees or removing stones on the suit land.

Reasoning

The court finds that the Appellant/Applicant does not meet the expectations of the laws and that the learned trial magistrate was right in staying the proceedings until the Succession Cause is determined.

Outcome

Appeal dismissed
