</div>In this
application the Applicant pray this Court for an order committing the
Respondent herein for contempt of Court in that the Respondent has in complete
disregard and utter contempt of the order restraining him, his heirs and
assigns, agents, and workers from any development work on the land until the
substantive suit is determined, continued the development of the land in
dispute.<o:p></o:p>Briefly, the
material facts which gave rise to the present application are that the
Applicant’s principal issued a Writ of Summons in suit No. LD/0316/2016 titled LYDIA AKOSUA ADWOO ANIM v ISMAIL BAWA &amp;
ANOR, on the 18th January, 2016, asking for the following
reliefs: &nbsp;<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A declaration that by a conveyance
dated 8th March, 1986 made between the Plaintiff and Nii Nortey
Adjeifio now deceased acting for the Kle Musum Family, the family’s interest in
the land described therein was conveyed to the Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A declaration that any registration of
the said land by the 2nd Defendant in the name of the 1st
Defendant is irregular and or by mistake and therefore null and void.<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A declaration that the registration of
the land in the name of the 1st Defendant if any was procured by
fraud and therefore the same is null and void.<o:p></o:p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order for the cancellation of any
Land Certificate No. GA 46204 standing in the name of 1st Defendant.<o:p></o:p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recovery of possession and damages for
trespass against the 1st Defendant.<o:p></o:p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perpetual injunction against the 1st
Defendant, his workmen and servants from further trespassing on the land in
dispute.<o:p></o:p></main>
