Through the application dated 26/3/2025, the plaintifis sought: (i) an order directing the Land Registrar to avail certified copies of the land registers relating to the parcels itemized in the application; (ii) an order of inhibition stopping registration of dealings in the land registers relating to the listed parcels; and (iii) an order of status quo preserving the listed parcels. 2. Pursuant to an order issued by this court, the 1st to the 9th defendants were served through a notice published in the Daily Nation. They did not, however, enter appearance.
