VERSUS GURUPREET SINGH BHACHU................... RESPONDENT

RULING BEFORE: I. MAIGE, J The memorandum of appeal is notaccompanied with a copy of judgment. When I requested the counsel to addressme on that issue, Mr. Msangi who took the conduct of the appeal for the appellant submitted that the appeal is properly before me because the appeal is against the decision. Mr. Mustapha learned advocate for the Respondent submitted, correctly in my view, that under Section 39(1) of CPC attachment of a copy of judgment in appeal is mandatory requirement, unless the same is dispensed with. i In my opinion therefore, for the reason of not being accompanied with a copy of judgment, this appeal is incompitently before the court and it is hereby struck out with costs. I. MAIGE
