The Tanga Urban Primary Court, appointed the second Respondent as administrator of the estates of the late Ng’anzi Khalfan. Later the appointment was annulled by the same Primary Court upon a complaint and appointed the first Respondent and Jupiter Auction Mart to jointly administer the estates.
The applicant, who was a witness in the probate cause that appointed the second Respondent as administrator and conceded to his being so appointed, filed another application in the same Primary Court but sitting at Mwang’ombe in which he was appointed administrator of the same estates. However, his appointment was revoked on revision by the District Court of Tanga which proceedings were declared null and void and the appointment by the Tanga Urban Primary Court of the first Respondent and Jupiter Auction Mart as joint administrators of the estates of the late Ng’anzi Khalfan was confirmed. Dissatisfied he appealed to the High Court.
The High Court quashed the appointment of Jupiter Auction Mart as joint administrator of the estates and, in its stead, the second Respondent, was reappointed. The appointment of the first Respondent was affirmed. That is to say, the Respondents were to jointly administer the said estates of the late Ng’anzi Khalfan. The judgment of the High Court did not make the applicant happy.
However, his intention to challenge it was not implemented timely. He filed an Application seeking the High Court orders for extension of time to file an application for leave to appeal to this Court and for leave to appeal to the Court against the decision. The High Court dismissed it with costs. The applicant has come to this Court by way of revision seeking to assail that refusal of the High Court.
