Dandora Housing Schemes Limited (DHS) and Kiambu Dandora Farmers Company Limited (KDFC) are claiming ownership of the land.
State counsel Thande Kuria told the judge that the National Land Commission (NLC) has interests in the case and would like to be enjoined.
In 1985 Justice Sachdeva ruled in favour of DHS and quashed the decision of the government to acquire the land and returned all the 818 acres of land to the company.
The land on which Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital is built is at the centre of a 43-year-old legal dispute between two companies, each claiming ownership.
Besides the hospital, the 818 acre parcel of land in dispute and which is valued at Sh5 billion also hosts Umoja II Estate, Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC), Steel Structures, administration offices, schools and other social amenities.
