Ruling

1. I have considered the summons dated 19th June 2025 filed by Halima Hassan Mohammed, the affidavit in support thereof and I do note that the same has not been opposed albeit served upon Evans Wanjala as demonstrated by the affidavit of service sworn by Moriasi Moses Kaosa on 20th June 2025, I do find that the same is well merited given that the Petitioner cited a stranger to the estate of the deceased.

2. I hereby order that the Lower court file Number Bungoma Chief Magistrate’s court Succession Cause No. 100 of 2019 be transferred to High Court Bungoma for hearing and determination.

3. It is hereby so ordered.
