Appellant filed Probate and
Administration Cause No. 221/2013 in the Arusha Urban Primary Court praying to
be appointed as the administrator of the estate of the late Mwanaidi Mambea
Mshana. In the cause of trial Mwanaidi Kihamba Msangi, one of the deceased’s
relative lodged complaints to the District Court of Arusha among which was that
Daudi Mambea in filing the probate cause in the Primary Court did not attach
his application with death certificate and that the attached clan members’
minutes were not genuine even the letter from village executive officer. The
District Court dealt with the complains by way of revision which is the subject
of this appeal. The District Court in it revisional order quashed the Primary
Court. Being aggrieved the Appellant filed this appeal. Parties did not appear
for hearing, however the Judge found prudent to revise the proceedings rather
than dismissing it for want of prosecution.
