</div>&nbsp;RULING ON MOTION FOR INTERLOCUTORY
INJUNCTION<o:p></o:p>In this present application the
plaintiffs are requesting the Court for an order of interlocutory injunction
restraining 1st and 2nd defendants, their agents,
servants, workmen particularly soldiers from the 48 Engineers Regiment of the
Ghana Armed Forces and assigns etc. from dealing with the land which is the
subject matter of the substantive suit.<o:p></o:p>In their Statement of Case the
plaintiffs seek the following reliefs against the defendants:<o:p></o:p>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An
order for cancellation of land certificate numbers TD 6351 volume 020 folio 453
and TD 7778 volume 019 folio 3800.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Damages
for trespass to the land covered by the land certificates mentioned in reliefs

Perpetual
injunction restraining the 1st, 2nd and 3rd
defendants, their agents, servants, workmen and assigns in any manner with the
land in dispute.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The reason for the plaintiffs’ request

larger tract of land which is situate at Amrahia Malejor and not Adambrobe as
claimed by the 1st defendant/respondent. The plaintiffs also claim
that the land in question belongs to the Nee Okantsuru Dsane family of
Kle-Krobo, Teshie.<o:p></o:p>The 1st and 2nd
defendants/respondents are vehemently opposed to the present application.&nbsp; They say the land was given to them by the
family of the 3rd defendant, that is, Okitipa Agona Ogya family of
Adambrobe and that before the grant was made to them, they conducted a search
at the offices of the 4th de</main>
