REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT EMBU Misc Succ Case 33 of 2004 IN THE MATTER OF THE ESTATE OF DANIEL MUGO NJUKI-DECEASED AND BANCY WANJIRA MUGO…………………APPLICANT/OBJECTOR VERSUS ADELAIDE MUTHONI MUGO…...……RESPONDENT/PETITIONER RULING The applicant filed application dated 27/6/2007. Orders sought are as a result of the order revoking a grant made earlier. Upon a revocation of a grant the estate has no Administrator. Therefore a grant ought to be issued to another person. In this case the protester Bancy Wanjira Mugo appears to be the nearest of kin of deceased and therefore she has a right to a grant of Administration of the Estate of her father the deceased Daniel Mugo Njuki. I therefore order that a grant be issued to the said Bancy Wanjiru Mugo. Regarding this application it is stated that the previous administrator did sell some land of deceased to some person. Section 93 provides for the validity of such transferred assets to purchasers. In the circumstances the purchasers should be heard before orders are granted. I therefore order that the application be served upon all of them for hearing of this application. Dated this 14th February, 2008. J. N. KHAMINWA JUDGE 14/2/2008
