Holding
The application is dismissed, and the suit is stayed until the pending case HCCC No.121 of 2005 is heard and determined.
Facts
The plaintiffs claim to be the owners of a church property and seek an injunction against the defendant, who they accuse of interfering with their freedom of worship and damaging the church.
Issues
- Does the suit form part and parcel of HCCC No.121 of 2005 in Kisumu High Court?
- What is the effect of the orders of injunction given on that suit (HCCC No.121 of 2005) in relation to this suit?
- Is the plaintiff the absolute owner of land parcel No. Kanyamkago/Kawere I/489?
- Are the plaintiffs justified to get an injunction against the defendant's action?
Reasoning
The court found the plaintiffs not to be the absolute owners of the land and that the suit is not distinct from the previous case. The plaintiffs' claims for an injunction were dismissed due to lack of clean hands.
Outcome
Application dismissed, suit stayed
