The plaintiff's Notice of Motion lacks merit and is hereby dismissed with costs to the respondents.

Facts

The plaintiff, Shomari Mangale Hamisi, is the landlord of a room on PLOT NO.2010/IV/MN. The room was previously occupied by a tenant named John Masha Upendo who died.

The plaintiff sought an order to remove the padlocks and allow him to re-let the room.

  • Whether the plaintiff's criminal proceedings should be stayed
