LUCAS MUKITI MUKUA AND MARY WANJIRU GACHAU AND 7 Others VS Independent Policing Oversight Authority AND Director of Criminal Investigation AND 1 Others

High Court at Muranga High Court · · C.W Githua

' The applicants have filed a Misc Criminal Application  within which they have presented a Notice of Motion dated 15th September 2025 seeking leave to institute judicial review proceedings for grant of the judicial review remedies of Certiorari, Mandamus and prohibition. Judicial review proceedings are by their very nature special proceedings which are governed by their own unique set of rules and procedures. They cannot be initiated through a criminal application like the one the applicant has filed in this case. 
In my considered view, the application  is incompetent and it is hereby struck out. This file is now marked as closed.
It is so ordered.
