My Lords, the application before us invokes the supervisory
jurisdiction of this court for an order of certiorari to bring up into this
Court for purposes of it being quashed and quashing orders made by the Probate
and Administration Division of the High Court Number 2, in the suit numbered PA 520/2020 and intituled Elizabeth Darko Vs. Tracy Opoku Darko &amp;
Others. Although on the face of the motion paper, the Applicant states that
the prayer for certiorari is targeted at the orders made by the High Court, dated
Wednesday the 11th day of November 2020, the Applicant has not

Court. This Court has time without number, pointed out that applications

general prayer at the Court without being specific as to the nature of the
order sought to be quashed especially in this instance that the application
seems to suggest on the face of her motion paper that the orders sought to be
quashed are several.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;(3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
To the extent that the orders sought to be quashed being several as
suggested in the </main>
