At the time of reserving several Rulings in respect of this matter, the Plaintiff sought to have this court deliver a Ruling in respect of his Notice of Motion application dated 22 nd September 2014 and filed on 30 th September 2014. Mabeya J heard and dismissed the same. This position was correctly pointed out by the 1st and 2nd Defendant herein. 2. This court cannot therefore seat and make a determination of the same application, the same having been decided by a judge of equal and competent jurisdiction. The Plaintiff cannot re-litigate the same application no matter how much he felt aggrieved by the decision. DISPOSITION 3. For the foregoing reasons, the upshot of this court’s direction was that the Plaintiff’s request to re-open the hearing and determination of his Notice of Motion application dated 22 nd September 2014 and filed on 30 th September 2014 was misconceived and the same is hereby disallowed.
