A High Court judge yesterday quashed orders that had been issued by a magistrate in a Sh19 million case that had already been determined by another court.

Justice Joel Ngugi of the High Court in Nakuru quashed Principal Magistrate Isaac Orenge's ex-parte orders, accusing him of making the decision without hearing both sides.
