UWAYO v BAYINGANA
The allocation of the land in dispute to Mukamudenge Annonciata was not a lawful isaranganya as required by law, since it was not conducted between the original right-holder and the returnee, lacked proper documentation, and excluded the rightful heirs (orphans of Nkurikiyinka Simon). The land must be restored to the applicants, and the registration certificates in the names of Mukamudenge and Bayingana are invalid. Compensation is awarded to the applicants for emotional distress, legal costs, and loss of use.
