0001Ss objection on the ground that the Application was not filed within reasonable time a 37'The Respondent State argues that, should the Court find that the Applicant has exhausted domestic remedies, it should still dismiss the Application because it was not filed within a reasonable time after local remedies were exhausted. 38' lt further contends that, even though Article 40(6) of the Rules of court is not specific on the issue of reasonable time, international human rights case-law has established that six months would be a reasonable time limit within which the Applicant should have filed the Application, maintaining that such was the position of the Commission in Communication No. 3og/05, Michaet Majuru v. Zimbabwe. 39' The Respondent State also maintains that three (3) years and six (6) months had elapsed between the decision of the Court of Appeal of Tanzania (16 February 2012) and the date this Court was seized (10 october 2015), and that this timeframe is not reasonable given that the Applicant had no difficulty in filing the Application earlier. *** 40'The Applicant refutes the Respondent State's allegations regarding the reasonableness of the timeframe for seizing the Court, arguing that there is no provision in the Rules for assessment of the reasonable time for filing applications before the Court. To this end, he cites the Court,s decision in Application No' 01312011 Beneficiaries of Late Norbert Zongo and others v. Burkina Faso, that the Court had established that the "reasonableness of a timeframe of seizure will depend on the particular circumstances of each case and should be determined on a case_by_case basis.,, 41' The Applicant then states that he was awaiting the decision of the Court of Appeal of Tanzania on his application for review of the decision of 16 February 2012, which took a long time. *** c2/-- Y\,=r s\
