3. This court has considered the application and the supporting afidavit. The application was served but the respondent did not file any response. This court has perused the court record and indeed finds that Justice Mukunya did enter judgement for the applicant by adverse possession land on Plot Number MN/II/196. That the size of the plot was indicated as 293ft by 7ft. The applicant now states that this was an error and the same should be of 41ft by 100ft. a survey report has been attached by a private surveyor indicating the latter. I find that the application is unchallenged and is merited and I grant the same as prayed. It is so ordered. DELIVERED, DATED AND SIGNED AT MOMBASA THIS 27TH DAY OF JULY 2022. N.A.
