REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA AT NAIROBI CRIMINAL DIVISION MISC. CR. APPL. NO. 362 OF 2018 JIMMY MURURI KIMANI.............................................APPLICANT VERSUS REPUBLIC ...................................................................RESPONDENT RULING Having heard both parties, and upon perusal of the trial court record, I come to the conclusion that the forfeiture of the cash bails was not justified. There was good reason why the applicant absconded himself from court. I accordingly order that the cash bail of Kshs. 80,000/= paid vide receipt No. 0416182 dated 6/6/2016 and of Kshs. 120,000/= paid vide receipt No. 0378926 dated 18/8/2016 be forthwith reinstated and refunded to the payee. I make an order for refund/released on account that the trial case has been withdrawn. DATED and DELIVERED this 30th day of July, 2018 G.W. NGENYE-MACHARIA JUDGE In the presence of: 1. G. Kamau for the Applicant. 2. M/s Sigei for the Respondent.
