MOSHUA S/O MDUNA v. R (1968) HCD 227
Held:
(1)
....(N/A)
(2) “Before imposing fine a court should make
enquiries of the financial standing of the accused, and this should form part
of the record.” [Quoting R. v. Bison s/o Mwango, 2 T. L. R. (R) . 31,32]. This
should be done to ensure that the fine is one “which is within the means of the
accused person to pay.”
(3) A man convicted of striking a woman should pay
compensation even though there is no permanent injury, since striking a woman
“is not a manly act.”
Fine reduced to Shs. 200/-
