Court of Appeal of Tanzania

This is the highest level in the justice delivery system in Tanzania. The Court of Appeal draws its mandate from Article 117(1) of the Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania. The Court hears appeals on both point of law and facts for cases originating from the High Court of Tanzania and Magistrates with extended jurisdiction in exercise of their original jurisdiction or appellate and revisional jurisdiction over matters originating in the District Land and Housing Tribunals, District Courts and Courts of Resident Magistrate. The Court also hears similar appeals from quasi judicial bodies of status equivalent to that of the High Court. It further hears appeals on point of law against the decision of the High Court in matters originating from Primary Courts. The Court of Appeal also exercises jurisdiction on appeals originating from the High Court of Zanzibar except for constitutional issues arising from the interpretation of the Constitution of Zanzibar and matters arising from the Kadhi Court.

In the event that the appellant is ultimately found guilty and convicted of the offence as charged, the sentence to be imposed at the time of sentencing him should take into account the period spent by him in prison from 22nd January, 2016 when conviction was improperly entered for the first time by the trial court up to the date of the conviction by the trial court as the Court has just herein ordered.

It is our finding that the prosecution case was not proved beyond reasonable doubt, the above outlined doubts therefore should be resolved in favour of the appellant, thus the ground that the prosecution case was not proved to the required standard has merit and we allow it. Following this finding, we see no need to consider the appellant's defence as Mr. Isihaka had invited us to do. Consequently, the Court hereby proceed to allow the appeal, quash the conviction and set aside the sentence meted against the appellant. Eventually, we order the release of the appellant from prison unless he is otherwise lawfully held.

It is our firm view that none of the grounds and issues, as discussed above, tick the boxes of Rule 60 (1) (a) to (e) of the Rules, and case law. At most, the grounds assail the decision having been erroneously arrived at. They all propose re-hearing of the appeal. They are, therefore grounds of appeal rather than grounds of review. In the circumstances, and for the above given reasons, the Court find the application misconceived, the application is without merits and it is hereby dismissed.

It is settled that such an order will be at loggerhead with the justice of this case, instead, the court agree with Mr. Mwita again who invited us to set the appellant free and leave the matter at the DPP's good wisdom to decided whether to prosecute again or not, this course of action was taken by the Court in Joseph Ngadupa Akilimbaya (supra) and shall do the same but on condition that such decision by the DPP must be taken not later than 18 months from the date of delivery of this judgment, accordingly, order the release of the appellant forthwith unless he is being held for some other lawful cause.

It was wrong to sentence the appellant to life imprisonment and in addition three strokes of a cane, thus quash the sentences meted on the appellant and allow the appeal to the term served. Consequently, the appellant should be released forthwith unless held for other lawful cause.

Just as the first appellate court decided, the Court has not amused by the appellant's story as far as the claim against the respondents is concerned., the Court has weighed the evidence on record and it is our sincere finding that, the appellant failed to prove his claim against the respondents on the balance of probabilities. For the foregoing analysis and reason, the Court dismiss this appeal with costs.

No merit in ground one and having so held, the court see no need discussing other grounds which were dependent on the determination of ground one. Consequently, dismiss the appeal for lack of merit. The respondent shall have her costs in this Court and the trial court.

This appeal is dismissed in its entirety.

This application is allowed. For that matter, time to deposit bank guarantee is extended for a period of forty-five (45) days from the issuance of this decision. Cost of the application to abide the outcome of the appeal.

This issue alone is sufficient to dispose the application which is accordingly struck out with costs.

Trial court had jurisdiction to entertain the appellant's application to investigate the ownership of the motor vehicle, thus allow the appeal, quash the ruling of the trial court and the resultant judgment of the High Court on an appeal and set aside all orders made thereto, make a direction that, the original record be remitted to the trial court for hearing and determination on merit of Miscellaneous Criminal Application No. 1 of 2021 by another magistrate of competent jurisdiction.

Ultimately, the Court allow the appeal to the extent that has been designated. Consequently, we render judgment in favour of the appellant in the amount of US$ 132,639.30. The appellant's remaining claim stands dismissed. Due to the circumstances of this case, the Court order each party to bear its own costs.

Ultimately, the Court order that the file in Land Case No. 47 of 2016 be remitted to the High Court for an expeditious fresh trial in accordance with the law before another judge. In the end, considering the circumstances of the appeal, the Court make no order as to costs.

Ultimately, the Court satisfied that the appellant was duly convicted of the offence laid under section 154 (1) (a) of the Penal Code ("the Code"), due to the impeccable evidence that he caused his manhood to penetrate the anus of the two-year-old girl. The Court also persuaded that the mandatory life imprisonment was imposed in accordance with the dictates of section 154 (2) of the Code, as the offence was committed on a child under the age of eighteen, in the end, the Court dismiss the appeal for want of substance.

Unfortunately, the applicants did not seek the leave of the Court before they filed those affidavits. Therefore, the omission to seek the leave to file supplementary affidavits renders the affidavits defective. Since the notice of motion is supported by defective affidavits, the application becomes incompetent and it is hereby struck out with costs.

When all the foregoing is said, the Court satisfied that the applicant has not shown good cause to warrant my discretion and grant of extension of time sought. The application is hereby dismissed in its entirety.

Whereby contributory negligence is involved.

With the above discussion, there is no need of getting to issues of procurement of the bank guarantee or an insurance bond, because, in order to consider security for due performance of the decree, substantial loss must be demonstrated first. That said and done, this application has no merit. It is hereby dismissed with costs.

With the few pointed out defects we entirely agree that retrial will be prejudicial to the appellants. In the end, the Court proceed to allow the appeal, nullify the proceedings, quash the conviction and set aside the sentence. All three appellants be released from prison unless being held for some other lawful reasons.

With the foregoing, the appeal partially succeeds, the Court quash the conviction and set aside the sentence in relation to the offence of impregnating a school girl. In relation to the offence of rape, the appeal is devoid of merit and accordingly, dismiss it in its entirely.
