The case involves an application by the Respondents (Applicants) seeking judicial review and enforcement of fundamental human rights after their nomination forms for the presidential election were rejected as invalid by the Electoral Commission (1st Respondent). The 1st Respondent filed to strike out the application, arguing it did not properly invoke the court's jurisdiction, as the Applicants did not comply with procedural rules under CI 47, combining distinct legal processes inappropriately. The court ruled in favor of the 1st Respondent, highlighting the importance of adhering to prescribed procedural modes to maintain jurisdiction and avoid delays and confusion.
