[2025] KEHC 5317 (KLR)

The court found that the applicant had previously filed an identical application seeking the same orders in another criminal revision matter. The present application was therefore duplicative and constituted an abuse of the court process. The court struck out the application on this basis, emphasizing the need to prevent multiplicity of proceedings and maintain the integrity of judicial process.
