The applicant was charged with and convicted of murder contrary to the law. The High Court meted out to him the mandatory death sentence. Unlucky as he was, his appeal against that decision was barren of fruits, for the Court upheld the decision of the trial court and dismissed the appeal. The applicant invoked section 4(4) of the Appellate Jurisdiction Act, which vests the Court with power to review its decision subject to an aggrieved party satisfying it that there are grounds for doing so set out under rule 66(1) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009 as amended by G.N. 344 of 2019 (the Rules). The applicant has thus moved the Court to review its decision made on 18 March, 2017, dismissing his appeal.
