[2025] KEHC 9453 (KLR)

The court found that the application for revision was no longer tenable because the order of the Probation Officer, which formed the basis of the application, had already been spent. As such, there was no live issue for the court to determine under its revisionary jurisdiction. The application was therefore dismissed under Section 382 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
