Miscellaneous Criminal Application E238 of 2023

DR Kavedza, J

June 29, 2023

Between

Zedekiah Samson Omondi

Applicant

and

Inspector Genaral of Police

Respondent

Ruling

1. I have gone through the chamber summons application dated June 23, 2023 filed under certificate of urgency and the supporting affidavit of Ongalo Velma seeking orders that the body of Zedekiah Samson Omondi be produced by the respondent.

2. From the averments of Ongalo Velma, she received a call from the applicant, her husband, informing her that he was being taken away by unknown individuals from their homestead. However, the applicant did not state whether the said individuals were police officers, and neither did he specify the registration number of the motor vehicles involved to enable the court to issue an order to a specific entity or person.

3. The application filed therefore makes it difficult for the court to order the Inspector General (IG) of police to produce the applicant.

4. The applicant is therefore directed to provide additional information to enable the court to grant specific and actionable orders.

5Orders accordingly.

DATED AND DELIVERED VIRTUALLY THIS 29TH DAY OF JUNE 2023. ..........................D. KAVEDZAJUDGE
