JUDGMENT OF THE COURT

[1] The dispute that gave rise to the instant appeal was a result of four suits that were consolidated and heard together. The impugned judgment by Mbogholi, J., the subject matter of this appeal also gave rise to two appeals No 131 of 2013 and No 325 of 2014 which were consolidated and heard together. The central issues that were distilled from all the suits were whether the appellants proved a claim of adverse possession in respect of a property described as LR. No 336/17 measuring about 6 acres situated within the Baba Dogo area in Nairobi County (hereinafter referred to “as suit premises”). The appellants in CA No. 325 of 2014 had sought a declaration that they had purchased the suit premises from the known agent of the registered owner one Mrs. Wilson in 1964, and that they should have been declared as purchasers/or in advance possession by virtue of the sale agreement. The registered proprietor of the suit premises or his estate never defended the suits.
