buluka leken ole ndidai another vs republic 2024 tzca 116 21 february 2024

Court

TZCA

The conviction cannot stand because the inventory form (exhibit P5), which replaced the destroyed government trophy, was illegally procured without affording the appellants the mandatory right to be present and heard before the magistrate, as required by Police General Orders and established case law. Without this evidence, there is no legal basis for the conviction.
