000503 43. Having failed to get the records of proceedings and judgments for the two criminal cases, the Applicant filed Miscellaneous Criminal Application No. 6 of 2014 at the High Court at Mwanza on the basis of the right to equality before the law provided for in the Respondent State's Constitution, seeking to be allowed to file the appeals without the certified true copies of the records of proceedings and of judgments. This application was dismissed on 21 September 2015 for lack of merit. ln the obiter dictum, the High Court observed that the Deputy Registrar of the High Court should ensure that all efforts are made to provide the Applicant with the records and judgments to facilitate the filing of his appeals but the instruction in the said obiter dictum was not followed. 44. Consequently, despite the Applicant having filed the notices of appea! indicating his intention to appeal, he could not pursue his appeals for lack of the certified true copies of the records of proceedings and judgments. ln this regard, the Court recalls its position that, for remedies to be considered available, it is not enough that they should be established in the domestic system but also that individuals should be able to use them without any hindrance.3 45. Accordingly, in the instant case, the Court concludes that the Applicant was impeded from pursuing the local remedies as a result of the Respondent State's failure to provide him with the certified true copies of the records of proceedings and judgments. 46. With regard to the Respondent State's contention that the Applicant could have filed a constitutional petition regarding the violation of his rights, the Court has already stated that this remedy in the Tanzanian judicial system is an extraordinary remedy that the Applicant is not required to exhaust prior to seizing this Court.a Notwithstanding this, the Applicant filed 3 a petition under the NorbertZongov Burkina Faso Judgment, op.cit, $ 68;Application No. 00112014.
