The Appellants were charged with armed robbery. They were convicted as charged and each was sentenced to thirty (30) years’ imprisonment. The three were aggrieved by the finding of the trial Primary Court. They unsuccessfully appealed to the District Court of Iringa. Still dissatisfied, they appealed to the High Court of Tanzania (Iringa Registry) where again they were not successful. They have come to this Court and preferred this appeal. The Respondent raised a point of law in respect of the appeal lodged. They argued that the appeal before the court was incompetent, in terms of section 6(7) (b) of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act [Cap 141 R.E. 2002]. They said the Appellants had to seek a certificate in the High Court on a point of law and since that was not done, the appeal was incompetent and should be struck out.
