In this appeal the Appellant is contesting the ruling and order of the High Court of Tanzania at Dar es Salaam in Probate and Administration Cause No. 56 of 1997. In that application, the Appellant had requested the High Court to annul the grant which was made in favour of the Respondent, on 20.5.1998 whereby he was appointed as the administrator of the estate of the late Kulsum Velji @ Kulsum Kachra. The latter died intestate in Dar es Salaam on 13.2.1974. In dismissing the application, the High Court held that the Appellant had no interest in the deceased’s estate so as to qualify to enter caveat in that regard under section 58 (1) of the Probate and Administration of Estates Act [Cap 352 R.E. 2002]; so also to apply for revocation of the grant made to the Respondent. It is on that basis that the Appellant preferred the present appeal to the Court.
