20030624 TZHC Arusha3

The application, though procedurally defective, is substantively a request for stay of execution. The applicant demonstrated an arguable appeal, risk of irreparable loss, and greater hardship if stay is not granted. Procedural technicalities should not override substantive justice. Stay of execution is granted pending appeal.
