mabrouk omar mohamed vs exim bank tanzania limited 2 others 2022 tzhclandd 12452 31 october 2022

The plaintiff's challenge to the auction sale of his property arises from execution of a court decree. The proper remedy was to apply under Order XXI Rule 88(1) of the Civil Procedure Code before the executing court, not to file a fresh suit. The court therefore lacks jurisdiction to entertain the suit, which is unmaintainable.
