</div>GYAESAYOR,
JA<o:p></o:p>The
ruling sought to be varied is dated 26th January 2016.&nbsp; It stayed the execution of the judgment dated
14th April 2015 pending appeal.&nbsp;
That judgment was delivered by Justice Abdullah Iddrisu. An application
for stay of execution was refused by the judge on 31st July
2015.&nbsp; The reason being that there is no
executable order made in the judgment.<o:p></o:p>All
judgments and applications have been resolved in favour of the present applicant.&nbsp; The respondents have not appealed against the
judgments delivered by Justice Abodakpi on 30th April 2013 and that
delivered by Justice Ofori Atta on 2nd December 2008.&nbsp; Even now they cannot appeal in view of the
time limits given for appeals by Rule 9 of C. I. 19.<o:p></o:p>Indeed
at page 30 of the judgment apart from the order for the costs and damages, does
not contain any executable orders.&nbsp; We find
no exceptional circumstances warranting the grant of the stay.<o:p></o:p>The
applicant who has been found to have lawfully acquired the land and gave out portion
to third parties&nbsp; for development are
under sustained pressure to deliver to them&nbsp;
lands they had paid for.&nbsp; In our
view the applicants on the balance of convenience stand to suffer most. Other
orders made by Justice Iddrisu in the judgment only re-echo what the two previous
judgments have already made and which have not been appealed.&nbsp; To us it is unfair that the applicant was
being denied the benefits conferred &nbsp;by these
judgments as well as other judgments. We are in favour of varying the order of
the single judge by setting it aside since we find nothing wrong with the
ruling of the court below refusing the application for stay. We with due
respect set aside the order of the court dated 26th January 2016.
For the avoidance of doubt the order of stay of execution granted by the single
justice of this court, dated 26th January, 2016 is hereby set aside.
