The Citors filed Citation to accept or refuse Letters of Administration Estate dated 12th August, 2025. The Citees filed Notice of Appointment dated 26th August, 2025 but no formal response to the Citation. The matter then came up for mention on 19th February, 2026 and counsel for the Citors informed the court that since no response had been filed, the Citation should be allowed as prayed. 2. However, having gone through the record on this matter, both on the Court Tracking System(CTS) and the file, the court notes that this date was issued on 14th October, 2026 by the Judge in Chambers upon request by the Citors and there is no proof that the Citees were served with the hearing date of 19th February, 2026. In view of this, this Court finds that it cannot grant the orders sought. Mention on 19th March, 2026 and direct the Citors to serve the Citees with the hearing date before the court can proceed in the matter. It is so ordered. https://new.kenyalaw.org/akn/ke/judgment/kehc/2026/3934/eng@2026-02-26 1
