The applicants claimed the respondent fraudulently mutated their ancestral land and had begun sand mining and construction activities. The respondent opposed, raising technical objections regarding lack of written authority in the affidavit and arguing no steps towards execution had been taken. Justice Chibita overruled the procedural objections, citing substantive justice under Article 126(2)(e) of the Constitution and case management principles. Although no formal execution was initiated, the Court found preservation of the status quo necessary to prevent potential alteration or alienation of the land. The interim order was granted, with costs to be determined in the main cause. ###### Order __ ##### Ask AI Ask questions and understand this document faster using AI. __Ask AI * * * Skip to document content **Loading PDF...** 100% This document is 4.7 MB.
