This case is an appeal from the Lukiiko Court of Buganda to the High Court of Uganda. In this case is the plaintiff (Lukiiko) accused Yowasi A. Paulo, Joswa M. Naluma, and Yusufu W. Mukasa of defaming the Kabaka of Buganda Daudi Chwa due to the content of their letter to the young Buganda association. The letter was alleged to have been contemptuous and seditious against the Kabaka and Buganda's government members, thus going against section 124 A under the Indian penal code. Although the Kabaka pardoned the defendants, Chief Justice Griffin found them guilty and sentenced them to prison.
