JUDGMENT
<o:p></o:p>

</div>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Introduction/Overview:<o:p></o:p>[1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This
is an application brought under Order 80
Rule 4 (1) and Order 55 Rule 4 (1) of
the High Court (Civil Procedure), 2004
(CI 47) for leave to extend time to invoke the supervisory jurisdiction of this court for judicial
review in the nature of Certiorari to quash the Ruling of the Judicial
Committee of the Ga Traditional Council dated April 20, 2016 on grounds of want
of jurisdiction, excess of jurisdiction, illegality and nullity.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By
Order 55 Rule 1 of CI 47 an
application for:<o:p></o:p>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order in the nature of Mandamus,
Prohibition, Certiorari or Quo Warranto; or<o:p></o:p>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;
An injunction restraining a person from acting in any public office in
which the person is not entitled to act; or<o:p></o:p>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Any other injunction shall be made by way of an application for judicial
review to the High Court.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[3]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
Supreme Court per Adinyira JSC aptly stated the law that it is a basic principle
of common law that Certiorari and Prohibition would be automatically granted to
quash a judgment and to prevent a biased judge from hearing a suit upon
satisfactory proof of breach of any principles of the rules of natural justice<a href="file:///F:/ackaa%20boafo%20RULLING/Aaa.kab.CERTIORARI.Ex%20Parte%20%20Sheriff%20Nii%20Oto%20Dodoo.2019.Reviewed.docx#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><sp</main>
