The High Court has suspended a decision by the state to revoke Jomo Kenyatta's firearm licence.
Justice Jairus Ngaah said the case will be heard by way of written submissions.
Jomo is to file his submissions within seven days and the respondents within seven days of service.
"In view of the impending August/September recess, parties will highlight their submissions in the new term," Ngaah said.
The matter will proceed on September 27.
Jomo in his urgent application before the Milimani Law Courts, had asked the court to intervene and stop the state from revoking his firearms licence.
He asked the court to stop the Chief Licensing officer, the firearms Licensing Board and the Attorney General from demanding his license 'without following the due process set out in the Firearms Act'
Jomo said when officers came demanding he surrenders his firearms on July 21, no reason was given.
"On inquiry as to the reasons if any, that had caused an abrupt demand for my firearms, the offices feigned ignorance," Jomo said.
He said he is apprehensive about strong-arm tactics that may be deployed, which is why he is pleading with the court to intervene.
He claims he has not been informed of the reasons for the intended revocation despite being in possession of a license.
"The grounds upon which a firearm license can be revoked are provided in section 5(7) of the Firearms Act, which when read with section 7 (2) (a) (v) of the fair administrative action act, cannot be invoked without being afforded an opportunity to be heard," Jomo said.
He said that unless his application is urgently admitted for hearing and orders sought granted, his constitutional rights will be violated.
According to the court documents, his license is valid until April 27, 2024.
On Friday, Interior CS Kithure Kindiki said 23 firearms were recovered from three homes in Karen, Nairobi, following an operation launched after establishing that weapons used during demos were supplied by civilian gun holders.
"Today afternoon, an operation has been going on targeting three homesteads within the Karen area where a total of 23 firearms, some of which are suspected to have been used in illegal activities are kept," he said on Friday.
Former president Uhuru Kenyatta has since come out to defend his family against the onslaught daring the state to face him head-on instead of going for his family.
Uhuru vowed to defend his family no matter the cost.
