Kambale v Uganda
Kambale v Uganda (Criminal Miscellaneous Application 244 of 2019) [2022] UGHCCRD 159 (13 July 2022)
The applicant's bail was properly cancelled due to his failure to comply with bail conditions, specifically his default in appearing or reporting to court. The respondent's affidavit evidence regarding forfeiture and cancellation of bail was uncontested by the applicant. In accordance with Section 83(1) of the Magistrates Courts Act, the forfeiture of recognisance was justified, and the applicant is not entitled to a refund of the cash bail bond. The application therefore lacks merit and is dismissed.
