According to documents seen by The New Vision, members of the community said Isaac Kasule, Mariam Nakiseke, Sophia Kasule and Nasir Byaruhanga sold the land to Swaibu Katamba in 2003.
The transfer forms show that the land cost sh15m.
The members said the land was registered in 1968 under the Trustees Incorporation Act by the then Minister of Mineral and Water Resources.

It was later registered in the names of the Muslim community in 1972.
They members also called for the cancellation of the forged land titles.
However, the defendants have called for the dissolution of the community, arguing that it was illegal.
The case was filed at the High Court on August 9.
