ado shaibu vs honourable john pombe magufuli president of the united republic of tanzania others 2019 tzhc 3 20 september 2019
The petition is incompetent for lack of cause of action, improper impleading of parties, and failure to comply with procedural requirements. Reliefs sought cannot be granted against the respondents as impleaded. The affidavit defects do not constitute pure points of law and are not fatal at this stage. The petition is frivolous, vexatious, and an abuse of court process. The language used by petitioner's counsel warrants suspension pending disciplinary proceedings.
