20140527 TZHC Dar es Salaam

The applicant failed to demonstrate illegality or miscarriage of justice in the prior ruling. The order to sell the house and distribute proceeds among heirs was fair and just. The applicant's claim of overwhelming chances of success is a delaying tactic. The 3rd respondent, as purchaser, is entitled to possession, and other heirs have already consumed their shares. There is no basis for stay of execution.
