PETITIONER RULING 1. Before me is a summons for leave to amend the grant ad litem made on 22nd October, 2024 and the same is dated 22nd May, 2025 and is supported by the sworn affidavit evenly dated. 2. This Court directed the production of the limited grant file contents of which this Court notes. 3. This Court notes keenly that the grant petition did refer to the property known as Naivasha/Maragishu Block 1/2299 at paragraphs (5) and (19) as well as the registered caution dated 29th August, 2014. 4. The Applicant has submitted that an inadvertent error was committed by the previous advocates in obtaining a limited grant for LR Naivasha Maraigushu Block 1430 and not Naivasha Maraigushu Block 1/2299. 5. This Court concurs that such a bare blunder ought not be visited on a litigant. 6. I invoke the inherent jurisdiction to review the limited grant made on the 22nd May, 2025 and specify the purpose of the grant as follows: 7. That the grant of letters of administration Ad Litem issued is limited for purposes of filing and maintaining a suit on account of LR Naivasha Maraigushu Block 1/2299. 8. I accordingly allow the application dated 30th May, 2025. An amended grant ad litem shall accordingly be issued. 9. This file shall be marked as closed. It is so ordered. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2025/15851/eng@2025-11-05 1
