Holding
The application is not merited and is dismissed
Facts
Dennis Muliga was convicted of robbery with violence and sentenced by the High Court of Kenya at Kakamega. He appealed against the conviction and sentence but did not file his appeal within the 14-day period. He now seeks leave to file his appeal out of time due to not having access to the High Court proceedings and judgment.
Issues
- Whether the applicant's application for leave to file appeal out of time is merited
- Whether the applicant's appeal is arguable and has chances of success
Reasoning
The court exercised its discretion to extend time for filing the appeal, but the applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for the delay and the appeal lacks merit.
Outcome
Application dismissed
