The defendant objected by saying that the plaintiff had no right over the land as it was not registered as indigenous land.Consequently, the plaintiffs requested the court issue an order preventing the defendants to trespass over their land and to compensate them for the loss of the trees that were cut in the clearance operation.After studying the question of the plaintiffs’ ownership right over the land, the court concluded that even though the land was not registered, traditions legitimized the plaintiffs’ claim over the land and granted them a native customary right over the lands. Consequently, their rights over the land have been registered within the map of the competent authority, and ordered the defendant to withdraw all his agricultural material within 30 days and to compensate the plaintiffs for the damages caused on his land.
