RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>On
27-05-2010, the applicant, Kinapharma Limited, invoked the jurisdiction of this
court for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration
that it is unconstitutional and a breach of the fundamental human rights
guaranteed by the 1992 Constitution for the respondents, that is, The
Attorney-General, the Ministry of Road and Highways and the Ledzorkuku Krowor
Municipal Assembly, and for any other institution which forms part of the
organs of the respondents to go ahead and demolish applicant’s property
situated around the Spintex road.<o:p></o:p>b)&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order of
perpetual injunction restraining the respondents from demolishing the
applicant’s property.<o:p></o:p>On
the same 27-05-2010, the applicant filed an application on notice for
interlocutory injunction for an order to restrain the respondents, their
agents, servants, workmen and privies from entering or demolishing the property
in dispute in any manner whatsoever pending the hearing and final determination
of the substantive suit.<o:p></o:p>All
the respondents were served with both the substantive motion and the motion for
interlocutory injunction the same day but none of them has responded to any of
the motions. <o:p></o:p>The
case of the applicant is that it acquired a parcel of land sometime in June,
1992 and constructed a bonded ware house, X pert security control and other
allied facilities after acquiring all relevant legal documents from the
appropriate authorities namely, the Land Title Registry, Town and Country
Planning Department, Accra Metropolitan Assembly and the Environmental
Protection Agency.<o:p></o:p>The
edifice hold an average of five million dollars ($5,000,000.00) worth of raw
and finished product which cannot be relocated unless a similar edifice with
all its technological apparatus is put in place concomitantly.<o:p></o:p>
