</div>MARIAMA
OWUSU, J.A:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On 10th December, 2010,
the High Court, Kumasi in an application for an Order of Interlocutory
Injunction ruled that:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>“In
the result, I hereby grant the 1st Defendant/Applicant’s application
for an Order of Interlocutory Injunction against the Plaintiff, but vary it to
include both parties, their agents, assigns, representatives, servants,
workmen, relations, privies, restraining them from entering upon, building,
dealing or interfering with the land in dispute pending the hearing and
determination of the suit.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>There
will be no Order as to costs. Parties to bear their own costs.”<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Dissatisfied with and aggrieved by
the ruling of the High Court, Kumasi, the plaintiff filed the instant appeal.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Grounds of Appeal are:<o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Honourable Court did not
advert its mind to the fact that the 1st Defendant/Respondent was
stopped from making any claim having witnessed the transaction between the
Plaintiff/Appellant and the 2nd Defendant .<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Honourable Court erred in
basing itself on the erroneous claim of the 1st Defendant/Respondent
to be Odikro of Twedie and the grantor of Ayim Awere Stool Land.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the Plaintiff/Appellant, having
obtained judgment against the 2nd Defendant, the real grantor and
the overlord of the 1st Defendant, it is erroneous for the
Honourable Court to restrain him.<o:p></o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That the ruling given by the
Honourable Court was against the weight of affidavit evidence.<o:p></o:p>e.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Additional grounds may be filed upon
receipt of a certified true copy of the ruling.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Before dealing with the arguments
for and against the appeal, I would like to give a brief background of this
case.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><span</main>
