Holding

The court finds that the Defendant has not erected a wall on the Plaintiff's property and that the Plaintiff's application for an injunction does not meet the criteria for mandatory injunction.

Facts

The Plaintiff claims that the Defendant has erected a wall on his property, Plot No. Kwale/Galu Kinondo/99, which encroaches on his land. The Plaintiff supports his claim with a survey plan and a survey report by a private land surveyor.

Issues

  1. Whether the Defendant has erected a wall on the Plaintiff's property
  2. Whether the Plaintiff's application for an injunction meets the criteria for mandatory injunction
  3. Whether the court has jurisdiction to determine the dispute
  4. Whether the Defendant has encroached on the Plaintiff's property

Reasoning

The court does not find the Plaintiff's survey plan or report to be credible evidence of encroachment. The survey report does not mention Plot 98, and the surveyor is a private one without corroborative evidence.

Outcome

The Plaintiff's application for an injunction is dismissed.
