PETITIONER AND REPUBLIC ............................................................................................ RESPONDENT RULING 1. The Petitioner filed the petition dated 28th August 2025. The main issue raised is the constitutionality of the sentence imposed by the trial court. 2. Upon considering the petition, the supporting affidavit, and the relevant law, it is apparent that the Petitioner was charged and convicted before the Chief Magistrate’s Court at Nairobi in Criminal Case No. 3135 of 2004. 3. The court vested with jurisdiction over this subject matter is Milimani High Court. Consequently, I decline to grant the orders of revision sought for lack of territorial jurisdiction. 4. The petition is consequently struck out. 5. Orders accordingly. RULING DATED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY THIS 22ND DAY OF OCTOBER 2025. D. KAVEDZA JUDGE https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2025/15123/eng@2025-10-22 1
