The Supreme Court of Appeal will on the 13th of this month start hearing an appeal by tycoon Thom Mpinganjira who is challenging the ruling by the High Court which dismissed his application for bail pending appeal.
His lawyer Alexious Nampota has confirmed the development.
In December last year, the High court in Blantyre through Judge John Chirwa dismissed with costs Mpinganjira’s application to be released on bail pending appeal.
Mpinganjira was convicted for trying to bribe judges in the case of the presidential elections.
