Head (c) of Pa.rt III of the M~oi.sfa,ates I CoUJ:'t Act provides for appellate and revisional jurisdiction of the lli.g:1 Court in relation -to matters originatinc- in Primary Courts. So, as can clearly be seen, s.5 (1) (c) ands (2) (c) malce proovision for different situations. Under the former what is provided for is a requirement to obtain leave fo appeal to the Court of Appeal and in decisions of the Iligh Court other than decisions in exercise of original jm~isdiction.. Under the· latter the requirement is to obtain a certificate that a point of law is involved where l!lit,tter orif,'i.nates in Primary Courts. 1\,s I have said alroad.7, therefore, the applicant in this case, hail to apply to this Court for leave to go to tho Court of Appeal. I will now consider whether the application itself has mori ts, i.e. uhdher I should gTant the leave applied for. I have looked at the ai'ficl3:,vit of Ahmed Sijaona in support of the application. I have also looked at tho jud@ne~t against which it is sought to appeal to the Court of Appeal. Having considered the entire matter carefully, I am of the view tllat there arc issues which deserve to bo considered and dctermined.'upon by the Court of Appeal in this case. Accordingly, the applicaUon succeeds and I grant leave to the applicant to appeal to the Court of Appeal as prayed. 1//ft I(i,l, c0-0 1 L.. A.. A.
