TypeMiscellaneous Criminal ApplicationPostureApplication for waiver of court fees and leave to have the Notice of Appeal deemed to be duly filedCoramR. E. ABURILI
Holding
The application is dismissed for want of merit.
Facts
The applicant, Peter Njeru Ndwiga, was convicted of robbery with violence and sentenced to life imprisonment. He appealed the conviction and sentence, which was dismissed by Hon. T.W. Cherere J.
Issues
- Whether the application for waiver of court fees and leave to have the Notice of Appeal deemed to be duly filed is merited.
- Whether the intended second appeal allows for challenges on points of law only.
Reasoning
There is no material to demonstrate that being incarcerated lawfully leads to poverty. No question of law proper for determination by the Court of Appeal has been framed and placed before the Court, as this is an intended second appeal which only allows challenge on points of law only.
Outcome
Application dismissed
