swala solutions vs ally nasib 2023 tzhc 22120 26 october 2023

The court found that the applicant failed to provide sufficient evidence to substantiate the alleged breach of trust or theft by the respondent. The disciplinary process was procedurally flawed as there was no proper investigation or clear linkage between the respondent and the alleged misconduct. The compensation awarded by the Commission was not properly justified; thus, the award was reduced from 48 months to 24 months' salary.
