Failure to join necessary parties, specifically the Conservation Commissioner, Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority (TAWA), and non-compliance with statutory notice requirements under section 6(2) of the Government Proceedings Act, renders the application incompetent. Misjoinder and non-joinder rules do not cure omission of necessary parties. Applicants lack locus standi as only the Village Council can represent village land. Application is struck out.
