BOKIBARORI TRADING COMPANY LIMITED AND Nyamira County Government VS THE LAND REGISTRAR KISII AND THE LAND SURVEYOR KISII AND 4 Others

I have considered the objection by Counsel for the Plaintiff and the submissions by all Counsels.

I note that there is on the physical file the following documents/pleadings from the 1^st Defendant:

1. Defence dated 23^rd September 2024.
2. List of Documents dated 23^rd September 2024.
3. List of Witnesses dated 23^rd September 2024.

The List of Documents does not have any documents annexed to it. All the above pleadings bear a Court Registry stamp dated 24^th September 2024.

I have also perused the Case Tracking System (CTS) and I note that none of the above documents have been filed on the CTS.

I have also considered submissions by the Plaintiff’s counsel that the documents were not served despite reminders.

Considering that the pleadings were physically filed, I am inclined to give the 1^st Defendant the benefit of doubt, in the interest of justice.

I grant the 1^st Defendant the last adjournment. The 1^st Defendant to properly file the said pleadings/documents on CTS and serve all parties within seven (7) days from today.

DW1 is stood down. Further hearing on 23^rd September 2025. Today’s costs shall be borne by the 1^st Defendant.

Dated this 11^th day of June 2025.
