This application was lodged by way of notice of motion under
rule 10 of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules 2009 (the Rules) with a
supporting affidavit sworn by applicant’s counsel. Relief sought is for the
applicants to be granted extension of time within which to file an application
for revision of the orders of the High Court, Moshi District Registry at Moshi
dated the 20th day of July and 14th day of August 2016 in
Miscellaneous Civil Application Number 40 of 2016 and Miscellaneous Civil
Application Number 40B of 2016.
The grounds for the application extrapolated from the notice of
motion intimate that the delay to file the application within time was due to
many factors, among others, not being supplied with proceedings and orders
necessary for the intended application as requested took a long time, and that
the applicant also sought recourse through various channels both legal and
administrative to no avail. The Respondents strongly disputed the grounds
pleaded by the applicant holding that they do not constitute good grounds to
merit grant of the application.
