In re Estate of Njoroge (Deceased) (Succession Cause E382 of 2013) [2026] KEHC 3125 (KLR) (17 February 2026) (Ruling) Neutral citation: [2026] KEHC 3125 (KLR) REPUBLIC OF KENYA IN THE HIGH COURT AT NAKURU SUCCESSION CAUSE E382 OF 2013 SM MOHOCHI, J FEBRUARY 17, 2026 IN THE MATTER OF ESTATE OF FRANCIS NJOROGE (DECEASED) BETWEEN DENNIS GICHARI NJOROGE ............................................................ PETITIONER AND GRACE WANJIRU NJENGA ................................................................. APPLICANT RULING 1. I have before me a summons for revocation of grant by applicants who are purchasers of a portion of the deceased estate. 2. The application is dated 16th October, 2025 and is largely premised on delay in transmission. 3. The applicants are not related to the deceased and as such it would be untanable to be appointed as personal representatives of the deceased. 4. The grounds, evidence and arguments advanced in support of the summons falls short of the statutory parameters for revocation of a grant. 5. The administrators while opposing the summons have justified the delay to be occasioned on a survey and sub-division which mutation has been rejected by the registrar of lands for having a road allocation at 7.5 meters instead of 9m. 6. The applicants purchased 1 acre from the deceased and are such entitled to 1 acre irrespective of the remainder and allocation of a 9 meters road. 7. I find the summons for revocation of grant to be lacking in merit. 8. However, to ensure the administrators undertake the transmissions and settle the estate I am inclined to direct and orders as follows: https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/3125/eng@2026-02-17 1
