The court found that the applicants failed to establish a prima facie case for the grant of preservatory orders. The property alleged to be intermeddled with (Loc 16/Mbugiti/1466) was not part of the deceased's estate but was registered in the respondent's name since 2012. The applicants did not provide specific evidence that any property belonging to the deceased had been interfered with by the respondent. The annexed photographs did not identify any parcel of the deceased's estate being wasted. The applicants also failed to demonstrate irreparable harm or loss that could not be compensated by damages. In the absence of evidence of intermeddling or risk of waste to the estate, the court declined to grant the orders sought and dismissed the application, but ordered that the status quo be maintained pending the hearing and determination of the appeal.
