What is the disciplinary Procedure against a Judge of High Court and the Judge of Court of Appeal?



The disciplinary procedure against  the judge of High  Court is provided for  under  Article  110  of the  United Republic  of  Tanzania Constitution, 1977.  The procedure is  a follows: firstly,  the president  will  under  Article 110(6)  (a) of  the Constitution appoint a Commission  of Inquiry  head  by chairman and at  least  two members.  The chairman and at  least  half  of the members must  be judges of  the High Court or  Court  of  Appeal  from  any Commonwealth Country.

Secondly, the commission will  inquire into the  matter  and prepare a report  in  which it  will  advice the president  to remove  the judge from  office  or  not.  See  Article 110(6)(b)  of the  Constitution. Thirdly,  if  the  commission advises the president  that  the judge be removed from  office, then  such judge will  be removed  from  office by president.  See  Article 110(7) of the Constitution.

And the disciplinary procedure against  the judge of Court  of Appeal  is provided  for under  Article 120(5) of the Constitution of the United Republic of  Tanzania, 1977.  The disciplinary  procedure against  the Judge of Court of  Appeal  is as the same  as that  against the Judges  of the  High  Court.
