Sendagi and 2 Others v Uganda
Sendagi and 2 Others v Uganda (Criminal Application 27 of 2019) [2021] UGHCCRD 96 (27 February 2021)
The High Court found that it had already rendered a decision on the identical application for revision of the bail bond sum, and no legal provision allows it to revisit or vary that earlier order. The applicants' request for a reduction of the bail deposit sum was previously dismissed, and the principle of functus officio applies. The application before the court was therefore barred, and the court lacked jurisdiction to rehear the matter. Consequently, the application was dismissed.
