ex b8356 ssgt sylivester s nyanda vs the insepector general of police another 2014 tzca 215 28 october 2014

Court
TZCA

The High Court's decision was a nullity because it was based on an issue of jurisdiction raised and decided without affording the parties an opportunity to be heard, violating the principle of natural justice. The proper course was to quash the judgment and remit the case for hearing on the merits before a different judge.

The court held that the applicant's claims for wrongful dismissal, defamation, and sexual harassment did not require constitutional interpretation and could be adequately addressed in ordinary civil courts. Therefore, the High Court lacked jurisdiction under Section 8(2) of the Basic Rights and Duties Enforcement Act No. 33 of 1994, and the petition was dismissed.
