ORDER OF THE COURT

MUSSA, J.A.:

When this appeal was called on for hearing today, the appellants were represented by Mr. Cyril Pesha, learned Advocate, whereas the respondent had the services of Mr. Omar Iddi Omar, also learned Advocate.

At the prompting of the Court, Mr. Pesha readily conceded that the record of appeal is incomplete in that page 7 to 10 of the High Court typed proceedings are missing. In the circumstances he prayed that the appeal be struck out for incompetence. To this concession, Mr. Omar had no objection.

In view of the fact that part of the High Court proceedings are missing, the record of appeal is indeed incomplete and contravenes Rule 96 (1) (d) of the Tanzania Court of Appeal Rules, 2009 (the Rules).In the result, this appeal is incompetent and the same is, accordingly, struck out. Since the shortcoming was raised by the court suo motu, we give no order as to costs.
