SUURBAAREH, JA<o:p></o:p>

This
is an appeal against the judgment of the High Court, Kumasi, dated 23rd
July, 2021. The Notice of Appeal, filed on 12th May, 2022, pursuant
to leave granted on 5th May, 2022, is complaining about the whole
judgment of the High Court for failing to set aside the conviction and sentence
by the Circuit Court. The grounds of appeal, per the Notice of appeal, are the
following:<o:p></o:p>

“i.&nbsp; That
the Honorable High Court erred when it failed to hold that the conviction was &nbsp;&nbsp;given
contrary to law and procedure and thus occasioned a
substantial miscarriage of justice.<o:p></o:p>
