</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>BY
COURT:<o:p></o:p>I have looked at all processes and
exhibits filed by the parties and heard both counsel in the matter.&nbsp; I have adverted my mind to Order 25, Rule 6
of C.I 47 and relied on same as the basis for the court’s ruling in this
application.&nbsp; After carefully looking at
the documents it does appear that the plaintiffs/applicants have not shown by
their affidavit evidence that they have a right at law or in equity which the
court must protect.&nbsp; Again they have not
demonstrated the kind of irreparable damage they will suffer if the application
were refused.&nbsp; And also they have not
identified wth certainty the boundaries of the land which they seek to injunct.
Finally both parties have exhibited photographs of buildings put up by third
parties.&nbsp; Both parties have shown that the
land was acquired essentially to be used for estate development and therefore
third parties have acquired portions of same and put up buildings – some uncompleted.&nbsp; It will be most unjust and inconvenient to
injunct such third parties who are in possession of the portions of land they
have acquired.&nbsp; For all the above reasons
or any combination of them, I find it unjust to grant this application and I hereby
refuse same.<o:p></o:p>Cost of GHC2000 against plaintiffs/applicants.&nbsp; Suit to take normal course.<o:p></o:p>
