A court has upheld the sale of a property belonging to businessman Suresh Kantaria in Nairobi to cater for the upkeep arrears of his estranged wife following their divorce 25 years ago.

Justice Christine Ochieng declined an application by Mr Kantaria’s tenant, Ms Hawa Haji, to reverse the public auction that happened in January this year. Mr Kantaria argued that the sale was illegal.
