Sepepiari v Republic [2024] KEHC 15596 (KLR)
The court found that the appellant was in actual possession of the complainant's land without any colour of right, as the title deed he relied on did not emanate from the land registry and the land it purported to represent did not exist in the relevant group ranch records. The complainant was the lawful holder of the title to the land in question.

The appellant's explanation regarding the source of the documents was found to be untruthful and inconsistent with the documentary evidence, particularly as the docume…

Mwangi v Republic [2024] KEHC 7867 (KLR)

Republic v Migiro [2024] KEHC 6564 (KLR)
The High Court found that the prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the respondent made a document without authority or committed forgery. The evidence presented, including expert testimony on signatures, was insufficient because it was based on photocopies rather than original documents, undermining its reliability. The prosecution did not demonstrate that the respondent executed the sale agreement without the seller's authority or that the documents in question were false or forged by the respondent. The court emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution…
