On September 4, 2007, Rayat Trading Company Limited made an application for a loan from tire-two Bank of Baroda. High Court Judge Alfred Mabeya. In the decision, judge Mabeya wondered whether there was a valid statutory notice issued to Mr Rayat. However, the court stated that, once the notice was returned unclaimed, the lender should have made more effort to contact Mr Rayat. Justice Mabeya said the evidence on record shows that Mr Rayat was oblivious that it had lost its property until he was confronted with eviction.
