This is an appeal from the
Judgment of the High Court Sunyani, delivered on 30th April 2015 and
presided over by his Lordship Justice BERESFORD ACQUAH, J in which the Learned Justice
dismissed with costs, an application by the applicant/appellant (hereinafter
called appellant) to attach the respondents/respondents (hereinafter called
respondents) for contempt of court. In the application for contempt in the
court below, which was filed on 5th January, 2015, the appellant
herein prayed the court “to commit the
Respondents herein to prison custody together with punitive and exemplary fines
for contempt of Court for intentionally showing gross disrespect and disdain to
the COURT OF APPEAL in Kumasi” <o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;

The basis for this
application was a civil action commenced by the appellant on 16/11/2009 against
the respondents in suit number C1/28/2010 for among other reliefs, “An
ORDER of ejection of the defendants (respondents herein) from the rooms they
currently occupy in house number D10/2, Sunyani to clear the premises for
UNGENTLY NEEDED MAJOR structural repair works to be done to prevent the said
building located on Plot No: D10/2, Sunyani from collapsing to kill innocent
Ghanaians.” <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In that suit, the appellant, claiming to be the
landlord of a house H/N D10/2, SUNYANI, sued the respondents as indicated, who
he also accused of refusing to attorn tenants to him. The respondents in that
suit denied that the appellant was their landlord. At the commencement of that
legal battle, the appellant secured an interim order to eject the respondents
from the premises pending determination of their true relationship; to wit,
whether the appellant was indeed the landlord of the respondents in respect of
the house in question. <o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;
