IN THE ENVIRONMENT AND LAND COURT AT MERU

ELC CASE NO. 26 OF 2013

JOHN MURIUNGI MUGWIKA............................................PLAINTIFF

VERSUS

CHARITY MPINDA M’MUGWIKA.........DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT

RULING

1. The plaintiff has filed the application dated 22.9.2020 (filed on 24.9.2020) seeking orders to review the order given on 20.5.2020 and have the sub county police commander Imenti Central give security to clear real Auctioneers instead of the O.C.P.D Meru. He contends that the suit-land is in Ruiga area of Meru Sub-County outside the territorial jurisdiction of the OCPD Meru who is in Imenti North Sub -County. He avers that the OCPD Meru had declined to grant security outside his area of command.

2. Having allowed the earlier application dated 19.9.2019 to provide the applicant with security in execution of the judgment herein, then I find that the current application is merely meant to give effect to the said judgment as well as the order of 20.5.2020. In the circumstances, the application dated 22.9.2020 is allowed with no orders as to costs. File closed.
