Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Juba County court in Kator has dismissed a criminal case that the City Council filed against the Islamic Council over ownership of 400 shops at Konyo-Konyo market.<\/p>\n

For two years now, both parties have claimed ownership of the Markaz Alwaz Plot and continue to double-tax renting shop keepers for ground fees.<\/p>\n

In 2020, the City Council issued an order banning the Islamic Council from collecting the fees. It went ahead and filed a criminal case against the Islamic Council over the matter.<\/p>\n

It accused a representative of the religious group of attacking shop-workers, taking money from them forcefully, and locking up their shops.<\/p>\n

In August, Central Equatoria State\u2019s Chamber of Commerce requested Juba City Council and the Islamic Council to await a court verdict over their ownership claims of shops at Konyo-konyo market.<\/p>\n

But despite the appeal, the two institutions continued to tax the tenants.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Kator court dismissed the City Council\u2019s claim and found that both institutions possess tittle deeds for the same place.<\/p>\n

The court ruled that the matter was a civil case and advised the parties to go the civil court.<\/p>\n

According to the court, the case did not fall within its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe collapse of the physical element of the crime means the collapse of the moral element of the crime as well,\u201d said Judge Thomas Deng, who presided over the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this reason, the court issues the following orders: dismissal of the lawsuit of the criminal case for its civil nature. We advise the parties to go to a civil court if they wish to do so. Give the parties a copy of the verdict.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2018, President Salva Kiir told the Islamic faithfuls during Iftar in Juba that he would ensure the Islamic Council reclaim its grabbed pieces of lands.<\/p>\n

The Muslim community had been complaining about its properties, especially in Juba town, Malakia and Konyo-konyo.<\/p>\n

Kiir then ordered his security chiefs to address the issue.<\/p>\n
