Nairobi, Jan. 22 -- The High Court has dismissed an application by troubled petroleum dealer Hashi Energy, seeking to table additional documents as the firm fights a tax demand of Sh7.1 billion.

The court rejected the application, saying that the firm, which is under liquidation, made the plea too late in the day.

According to the court, the application was made two days before a judgment on the appeal against Kenya Revenue Authority's (KRA) tax demand was rendered.

The court further noted that apart from listing the documents proposed to be admitted, Hashi did not attach the documents to support its case, hence the court was unable to form any opinion as to the actual relevance of the proposed documents.
