Holding

A perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from interfering with the applicant's occupation of the land parcel is granted.

Facts

The applicant, Peter Mbugua Njoroge, seeks an interlocutory injunction against the defendant, Cyrus Waveru Kaguni, to prevent him from interfering with the applicant's peaceful and quiet occupation of land parcel No. NAKURU MUNICIPALITY BLOCK 29/618 RHODA. The applicant claims the land belongs to the estate of the deceased, Geoffrey Njoroge Muthee, and he and his siblings have been in occupation since the 1980s.

Issues

  1. Ownership of the land parcel No. NAKURU MUNICIPALITY BLOCK 29/618 RHODA
  2. Validity of the respondent's title deed
  3. Irreparable damage to the applicant's rights if the injunction is not granted

Reasoning

The court finds that the applicant has a prima facie case and that the respondent's title deed is fraudulent, thus the land belongs to the estate of the deceased.

Outcome

Granted
