The court was set to deliver judgment in an earlier suit filed by Kabaka stopping to the demolition of his hotel.
Counsel to Kabaka urged the court to hear the application before delivering judgment owing to the new development, The Nation reports.
He argued that not hearing the application would amount to a breach of the right to a fair hearing.
Disregarding the argument of the state government's counsel, the court said it would hear the application on merit ground and adjourned the case to February 26.
