The grant is not revoked or annulled, but the court stays the proceedings and orders no sale or disposal of the land until civil disputes are resolved.
Facts
The deceased, Sakayo Wambua Ndolo, held land in trust for himself and two late brothers, Alphonce Katunga and Nathan Muema Ndolo. The applicants claim to be beneficiaries in the estate of the late Alphonce Katunga and the late Nathan Muema Ndolo. The objectors claim the land was not sold and that the applicants are not beneficiaries.
Issues
- Whether the grant was obtained fraudulently or through concealment of material facts
- Whether the applicants are beneficiaries of the deceased's estate
Reasoning
The court finds no clear case of fraud or concealment of material facts when the grant was obtained. The issue of beneficiaries hinges on the trust. The court notes unsubstantiated claims about the land being sold and stays the proceedings.
Outcome
The grant is not revoked or annulled.
Orders
- Stay the proceedings
- No sale or disposal of the land until civil disputes are resolved
