TANZANIA PORTLAND CEMENT CO

Court

TANZLII

The request for recusal is based on perception, assumption, and imagination rather than plausible or substantiated grounds as required by law and judicial precedent. There is no evidence of bias, conflict of interest, or other valid reason for recusal. Granting recusal on such grounds would amount to abdication of judicial function and encourage forum shopping.

• Recusal of judicial officer
