RULING

Clearly the Applicant seeks leave to file a private criminal prosecution against the Respondents. That application must be filed in a magistrate’s court. The Applicant has accordingly agreed with this court’s advice to go to the magistrates’ court to file the application. Accordingly, this application is marked as withdrawn with no orders as to costs.

Owing to the bulkiness of the exhibits annexed to the application, I grant the Applicant the right to have them released to him under the supervision of the Deputy Registrar of this court.  The main pleadings must however remain on record.

DATED and DELIVERED this 30th day ofMay, 2018.

G.W. NGENYE-MACHARIA
