201411NA TZHC Dar es Salaam

The applicant failed to demonstrate diligence in pursuing the necessary drawn order, which was the required document for the application for leave to appeal. The delay of six days after the drawn order was extracted was not accounted for, and efforts to obtain the ruling were irrelevant as it was not the necessary document. No sufficient grounds for extension of time were established.
