The appellant failed to prove that the Moshi District Council complied with the High Court's order to compensate original landowners before reallocating the suit land. The respondent's right to the land was derived from a plaintiff in Land Case No. 1 of 2003, whose rights remained intact until compensation and proper reallocation occurred. The trial tribunal properly evaluated the evidence and did not err in its decision.
