In this application Mussa J. refused the application for leave to appeal to this Court on the 24/7/2009 so under the provision of Rule 45 (b) of the Court Rules, 2009, the applicant should have brought this application within 14 days commencing ·on·the··date··of- refusal· on the 24/7/2009. Instead the applicant brought this application on the 21 st day of August, 2009, twenty eight days after the refusal. Hence this application late by fourteen days; it should hav~ been filed by or before the 7th day of August, 2009. As the application is time barred by fourteen days, it is incompetent. I accordingly strike out the incompe~ent applicatiofl for leave to appeal with I . costs. ·· '•, · · · , ''1 I I . I·• th DATE at TANGA this 12 day of March, 2010 , ',: , I :i · E.
