High Court at Milimani High Court · · Lilian Mutende


  1. Section 349 of the Criminal Procedure Code requires an appeal to be filed within 14 days of the date of the order or sentence.  But, for a good reason, the appeal may be admitted out of the prescribed time.
  2. The applicant herein seeks to appeal out of time.  He was sentenced to serve fifteen (15) years imprisonment.  He avers that to date he has not obtained the copy of judgment but he is aggrieved and desirous to appeal.
  3. Since the respondent has no objection to the application the same is allowed.  The applicant is granted fourteen (14) days hereof within which to file the Petition of Appeal.  In default, leave granted shall cease to operate.
  4. It is so ordered.
