IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF TANZANIA
AT MWANZA
(CORAM: RUTAKANGWA, J.A.,MASSATI, J.A., And MUGASHA, J.A.)
CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 257 OF 2015
GODSON ROBERT LUTEGO ………………......……………. APPELLANT
VERSUS
THE REPUBLIC ………………....……………..…………… RESPONDENT (Appeal from the decision of the High Court of Tanzania at Mwanza)
(Gwae, J.)
dated the 11th day of May, 2015 in
H/C Cr. Appeal No. 93 of 2014
……….
ORDER OF THE COURT
RUTAKANGWA, J.A.:
The appellant was first released on parole. Subsequently, he completed serving his prison sentence. His current whereabouts are unknown.
In view of the above, it is apparent that he has lost interest in his appeal. That being the case, we cannot let the appeal remain
listed as pending indefinitely. As correctly urged by Mr. Emmanuel Luvinga, learned State Attorney, this is a fit case for dismissal.
In fine, we dismiss this appeal for want of prosecution under
Rule 4(2)(a) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009, with liberty to re-institute
DATED at MWANZA this 19th day of October, 2016.
