#The Environment and Land Court at Meru has scheduled a mention on 29 April 2026 to fix a date for delivering judgment in a land dispute that remains undecided.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief procedural order issued by the Environment and Land Court at Meru in a land originating summons between Mukokinya M’Arithi (plaintiff) and Patrick Munkiri Kabundu (defendant), filed as E023 of 2021. The order, dated 14 April 2026 and signed by B M Eboso, J, contains no findings of fact or law and determines no substantive claim. Its sole purpose is case management: the court directed that the matter be mentioned on 29 April 2026 so that a date for delivery of judgment can be fixed. The Court Registry was directed to extract the order and email it to the defendant, who was absent when the order was made, and further to upload the order within 48 hours. Counsel Mr. Thangicia appeared for the plaintiff; the court assistant was Mr. E. Tupet. Because the document decides nothing on the merits, no holdings, authorities, statutes or costs orders arise from it, and this brief records only the directions actually made. Practitioners should note the substantive judgment remains pending; the mention date of 29/4/2026 is the operative compliance date for fixing judgment delivery.
