1.    The applicants/plaintiffs through Brian Otieno and Company Advocates commenced an application by way of Chamber Summons dated 9th December 2025 seeking, inter alia, an interim injunction against the 1st and 2nd Respondent jointly and severally restraining themselves, their agents, servants and/or employees from evicting, entering into, trespassing, blocking, locking and/or interfering in any manner whatsoever with the Applicant’s quiet and peaceful possession of all that parcel of land known as land reference No. NANDI/CHEMASE/259 situated in Nandi County pending inter-partes hearing of the application.

2.    The application is set for inter-partes hearing today.

‘TAKE NOTICE that the 1st and 2nd Plaintiffs/Applicants herein by this notice hereby wholly and unreservedly withdraws the Chamber Summons dated 9th December, 2025.’

4.    Mr Muhoro and Mr J. Ngwele learned counsel for the 1st and 2nd respondents respectively have no opposition to the withdrawal of the application.
