Procedural Posture

Civil Case / Ruling on Interlocutory Injunction Application

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the plaintiffs are entitled to a temporary injunction restraining the defendants from demarcating, alienating, or dealing with L.R. NO. NAROK/CIS-MARA/OLKINYEI/1 pending determination of the suit.
  2. 2 Whether the plaintiffs have established a prima facie case for the grant of an interlocutory injunction.

Ratio Decidendi

The court found that the plaintiffs had established a prima facie case that their ancestral land rights were at risk of being irreparably prejudiced by the actions of the defendants, who were about to wind up and deal with the group ranch land. The defendants, having been served, failed to oppose the application. In the absence of opposition and in view of the potential for irreparable harm to the plaintiffs' interests, the court granted the temporary injunction as prayed, restraining the defendants from further demarcating, alienating, or otherwise dealing with the suit property pending the hearing and determination of the main suit.

Court Disposition

Temporary injunction granted as prayed pending hearing and determination of the suit.

Orders

  • A temporary injunction is issued restraining the defendants, their agents, servants, or whosoever from further demarcating, alienating, or dealing in any manner with L.R. NO. NAROK/CIS-MARA/OLKINYEI/1 pending the hearing and determination of this suit.
