Harriet Nattu Mukasa and Another v Serunjogi Isaac and Others (Miscellaneous Application 68 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 374 (4 June 2025)
The court found that the respondents' affidavit in reply, though filed out of time, did not cause prejudice to the applicants and should not be struck out, emphasizing substantive justice over technicalities. On the merits, the court determined that the applicants had been in possession of the suit land for over 20 years without challenge, and the respondents failed to provide evidence linking their claimed property to the suit land or to demonstrate any legitimate interest or possession. The respondents' claims were found to be largely speculative and unsupported by credible evidence. Applyi…

Nabisere Jane Leticia and Another v Gerald Kasigwa and Commissioner Land Registration (Miscellaneous Application No. 678 of 2023) [2025] UGHCLD 78 (2 June 2025)
The application for stay of execution was dismissed because the status quo of the suit land had already changed. The 1st respondent was registered as proprietor following a sale agreement and transfer forms signed by the 2nd applicant and Elizabeth Nalukenge. The applicants failed to set aside the orders that led to the registration of the 1st respondent as proprietor. The court found that the application was overtaken by events and that the only way forward was to resolve the main suit on its merits. Each party was ordered to bear their own costs.

Kaita Ashraf v Uganda (Criminal Miscellaneous Application 7 of 2025) [2025] UGHC 377 (2 June 2025)
The court denied bail on the grounds that the applicant failed to present substantial sureties with proven financial capacity and ability to ensure attendance. No exceptional circumstances were established as required for capital offences. The gravity of the murder charge and the severity of the potential sentence (death penalty) increased the risk of abscondment. The applicant's recent committal for trial indicated no substantial delay in proceedings. The court exercised its discretion to deny bail, prioritizing public interest and the integrity of the judicial process over the applicant's l…

Visare (U) Limited v Simba Telecom Limited (Company Cause No. 1 of 2022) [2025] UGCommC 121 (2 June 2025)
The court found that the petitioner failed to comply with mandatory statutory requirements for winding up proceedings, specifically the issuance of a public notice and proper service of the statutory demand. The public notice is required to inform stakeholders and ensure transparency, and its absence renders the proceedings null and void. Additionally, the statutory demand was served on 'Simba Group' rather than the legal entity 'Simba Telecom Limited,' making the service defective and legally ineffective. These procedural defects are fatal to the competence of the petition, and as such, the…

Nassimbwa Rose and Others v Kibugo David and Others (Miscellaneous Application 317 of 2024) [2025] UGHC 367 (2 June 2025)
The court found that the application was made in good faith to resolve genuine disputes regarding the paternity of certain beneficiaries, which is essential for the proper administration and distribution of the estate. All parties agreed to the necessity of a DNA test, and the absence of stored genetic material from the deceased made exhumation the only viable option. The court balanced the cultural and ethical reluctance to disturb the deceased's remains against the compelling need to establish parentage for estate administration. Given the consensus among parties and the interests of justic…
