The High Court on Thursday struck out an application by the Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja and the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) Mohamed Amin denying being served an order to appear before the court.
In his ruling, Justice Chacha Mwita ruled that the two police heads were duly served with orders requiring them to appear in court over 3 missing men allegedly abducted in Mlolongo.
The judge noted that the service sent through the email of the National Police Service is valid since there is no doubt who the Inspector General is, noting that public officers' contacts and email addresses are public documents. "I am therefore persuaded that they were served with the application and orders issued," Justice Mwita ruled.
