Holding
The petition is dismissed as it does not plead constitutional violations with a reasonable degree of precision.
Facts
Petitioner seeks to restrain the 4th Respondent from charging him with forgery and forceful detainer and prohibit the Respondents from investigating him. Petitioner alleges harassment and intimidation by the 1st Respondent.
Issues
- Whether the Respondents have violated any of the petitioner’s rights?
- Whether the 1st Respondent’s actions are fair, legal or undertaken within the prescribed legal provisions and standards of law?
- Whether the petitioner is entitled to the orders sought?
Reasoning
The petition fails to specify which constitutional articles the petitioner claims are violated and how the alleged violations occurred. The court finds the petition frivolous and not in compliance with the principles set out in Annarita Karimi Njeru vs The Republic (1976-1980) KLR 1272.
