</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Defendant/Applicant was sued by the
Plaintiff/Respondent for declaration of title to the land in dispute, recovery
of possession, perpetual injunction and damages. At the end of a full scale
trial, the Plaintiff/Respondent prevailed. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Aggrieved by the outcome of the trial,
the Defendant/Applicant has filed a Notice of Appeal and is praying this Court
to stay execution of its judgment pending the outcome of the appeal, which in
his opinion, has a bright chance of success. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In the affidavit in support of the
application, particularly paragraphs 8 to 11, the Defendant/ Applicant avers as
follows;<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That
between the parties, the Defendant/Applicant stands to suffer more hardship
considering that he has built up to the lintel level on the disputed land &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(Exhibit ‘BN 4’)
refers<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That
the Plaintiff/Respondent’s purported grantor (Sabah estates) has denied
conveying the disputed land to the Plaintiff/Respondent and that the purported
signature of its director, Dr. Mustapha Ahmed, has been forged and is in the
process of instituting an action against her.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That
should the Plaintiff/Respondent go into execution and take over the disputed
land and demolish the building on the disputed land the Defendant/Applicant will
suffer irreparable damage which cannot be compensated by damages<o:p></o:p><</main>
