Kulita,l Advocate for the Applicant Ms. Hamida Sheikh submitted before this court praying for an ex-pafte interim order for stay of execution of the decree in the Civil Case No. 72412076 of Kisutu Resident Magistrate's Court for the reason that the applicants have already filed an appeal at High Court which has been registered as a Civil Appeal No. 129/2019. She said that the Applicant is compelled to seek for the interim ex-parte order as the Respondent (Decree Holder) is in a process of attaching the applicant's Bank Account No. 96101200000579 Bank of Baroda through the 1 garnishee order of the lower court and the same is about to be executed today afternoon.
