The preliminary objection, which was upheld, was to the effect that the High Court had become functus officio as the application for review was res judicata.

(a) Permanent injunction to restrain the defendant, his agents or servants from in any way interfering with the plaintiff's quiet enjoyment of his plot or parcel of land known as West Mugirango/Siamani/2257,
(b) General damages,
(c) costs of and incidental to this suit,
(d) Any other relief that the court could deem fit to grant."·
