Nampongeza kwa Utumishi wake, amejenga majengo mengi ya Mahakama ila Mwenye any landmark Case with its Judgement or with of full bench sitting together, I read his books on the Law of Evidence Act at University, but I have not yet crossed his pen to any relevant Judgement setting a Present for other Jurists...
Samatta is well known for his Judgement on interpretation of Constitution or the case of Mwl Paul John Mhozya v.AG no.1 of 1996 TLR 130 HCT page 133when he said.......the notion =,apparently harboured by some people in this country, that the President is above the law is subversive of the Constitution and the laws.All Governmrnt leaders,including the President, are like humble citizens,bound to comply with the laws ofthis country.
The maxim 'the King can do no wrong ' has no place in our law even if the word President is subsituted for the word King' Everyone and every institution or organization in this country is enjoined to pay respectto the principle of supremacy of the Law,see article 26(1) of the constitution.....Samatta 1994
Mwenye Judgement ya Juma kama aiweke humu isomwe na watu wote
