The application is dated 13th January 2025 and is brought under Sections 1A, 1B, 3A and 99 of the Civil Procedure Act seeking the following orders;
1. THAT the Order of the Honourable Court made on 19th September, 2024 be amended and/or corrected in respect of the land parcel number to read Mavoko Town Block 3/9291 and not Mavoko Town Block 3/929.
2. That costs of this Application be provided for.
It is based on the annexed Affidavit of ALPHONCE MUEMA MBINDYO and on grounds that the Applicant vide the Notice of Motion dated 13th March, 2024 erroneously through clerical mistake and/or accidental slip or omission sought to have the Land Registrar Machakos County directed to dispense with the production of the original title deed in respect of land title number Mavoko Town Block 3/929 instead of Mavoko Town Block 3/9291 and thus through an error omitted digit number 1. That it is evident from the grounds appearing on the face of the Notice of Motion dated 13th March, 2024 and the annextures to the Affidavit in support sworn on 13th March, 2024 being the title deed marked “AMM 1(a),” “AMM 3”, Certificate of Confirmation of Grant marked annexture “AMM 4”, Order marked annexture “AMM 5” and letter marked annexture “AMM 6” that the right title number ought to be Mavoko Town Block 3/9291. That the Land Registrar can only act on the Order bearing land title number Mavoko Town Block 3/9291. That the Honourable Court has powers to grant the orders sought under Section 99 of the Civil Procedure Act.
This court has considered the application and the supporting affidavit. The application was served but the Respondent failed to attend court or file any response. I have perused the court file and indeed found that the court granted the applicatant by his Notice of Motion dated 13th March, 2024 to have the Land Registrar Machakos County dispense with the production of the original title deed in respect of land title number Mavoko Town Block 3/929 instead of Mavoko Town Block 3/9291. All the annextures to the Affidavit in support sworn on 13th March, 2024 being the title deed marked “AMM 1(a),” “AMM 3”, Certificate of Confirmation of Grant marked annexture “AMM 4”, Order marked annexture “AMM 5” and letter marked annexture “AMM 6” have the title number as Mavoko Town Block 3/9291. The application is not opposed. I find that the application is merited and grant it as prayed with no orders as to costs as it was undefended.
It is so ordered.
