DEFENDANT/APPLICANT

RULING

The application is dated 29

th

July 2020 and is brought under Sections 1A, 3A of the Civil Procedure Act and Sections 78 of the Land Registration Act Cap 300 seeking the following orders:-

1. That the restriction registered on 28

th

February, 2013, entry No. 3 or any other restraints on disposition in respect of register/title Land parcel LR No. Kakamega/Kapsotik/287 be and is hereby lifted/discharged/removed forthwith.

2. That the consent judgment of 7

th

March, 2018 in Kak HCELC 104/17 be given effect.

3. That costs be provided for;

It is based on the affidavit of Bernard Techu Beyo and grounds that a restriction was placed registered in register of Kakamega/Kapsotik/287 in favour of Hezron Sudi Indengezi which is pending. Hezron Sudi Indengezi’s claim in the land was herein dismissed on 19

th

February, 2020. The interested party by consent of 7

th

March, 2018 in Kak. HC ELC 104/17 was awarded part of the subject matter. There are no good reasons to have the restriction in force.

This court has considered the application and the submissions therein. The respondent was served but failed to attend court or file any response. I have perused the court file and indeed find that in a judgement delivered on the 19

th

February 2020 and the court found that the plaintiff had failed to establish his case on a balance of probabilities and his case was dismissed. The court found that the 2

nd

defendant/applicant was a bonafide purchaser for value. This application has not been opposed. I find it is merited and grant prayer 1 and 2. There will be no orders as to costs as the same was undefended.

It is so ordered.
