KAYIRANGA v. KOPERATIVE INDATWA KAYONZA

The Supreme Court held that the Cooperative had no legal basis to seize and retain Kayiranga David's rice without compensation, as the relevant Ministerial Instructions did not grant such authority. The lower courts erred by failing to consider key evidence, including a signed agreement acknowledging the Cooperative's obligation to pay for 6,330 Kg of rice. The applicant's property rights were violated, and he is entitled to compensation for the rice and related damages.
