MAOMBI YA MAPITIO NA 13348 ya 2024

The District Court's order requiring the applicant to rebuild the wall was made without affording him the right to be heard, which is a fundamental breach of natural justice. Such procedural irregularity renders the proceedings and order a nullity. The High Court therefore quashes the proceedings and order and directs that the applicant be given an opportunity to be heard before any decision is made.
