I am called upon to determine an application, dated 25th March 2025. It seeks cancellation of titles, and for fresh survey works to be done. 2. However, I note that there are ongoing proceedings, oral, founded on an application, dated 20th May 2024, for revocation of the grant. 3. I doubt that it would serve justice, to be cancelling titles and doing survey works, while proceedings for revocation of the grant are ongoing. 4. Let the applicant, in the application dated 25th March 2025, join the proceedings in the application dated 20th May 2024, so that the two applications can be heard and determined simultaneously. DELIVERED VIA EMAIL, DATED AND SIGNED IN CHAMBERS, AT BUSIA, ON THIS 29TH DAY OF MAY, 2025. W M MUSYOKA JUDGE Mr. Arthur Etyang, Court Assistant.
