Full Case Text
REPUBLIC OF KENYA
IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT MERU
SUCCESSION CAUSE NO. 16 OF 1979
IN THE MATTER OF ESTATE OF M’IKIRIMA KARINGU (DECEASED)
STANLEY MUTHURI ...................PETITIONER
VS
HENRY MUCHAI............................OBJECTOR
RULING
Application dated 30. 9.2011 is due for determination. The applicant seeks that the court amends the grant dated 16. 2.1982 in terms of paragraph 9 of supporting affidavit.
He claims that he and his 3 brothers agreed to share equally L.R. No. Ntima/Ntakira/1882 but in his absence his brother who had petitioned for Letters of Administration to his father’s estate went to court with applicants deceased now on 16. 2.1982 and altered the consent order and had his share given to his son Kenneth Ndumba who is now deceased.
The parties that have been shown to be served are not parties in this cause and Kenneth Ndumba whom the applicant claims to have been given land is deceased
The claim by applicant has delayed inordinately and in my view overtaken by limitation of time he should make the claim in succession cause in the estate of Kenneth Ndumba or in the Environment and Land Court. The application dated 30th September 2011 is dismissed.
