&nbsp;

&nbsp;

The said Contempt
Application was brought under Order 50
rule 1 of C.I 47 by Applicant, Mrs. Lydia Osei Marfo on 23rd
November, 2021 for an Order committing the Respondents therein for
Contempt for an act bordering on outright disrespect of the authority of this
Court.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

In the course of the trial, the said Respondents therein
have filed this instant Motion. The Applicant herein; Daniel Darkwah (1st
Respondent in the pending Contempt Application) avers that there are
certain facts in the Affidavit in Support of the Motion for Committal for Contempt which
was deposed to by one Stanley
Easemon- Quartey which facts have been denied in their Affidavit in Opposition.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

He further avers that
there are certain allegations in the said Supporting Affidavit of this contempt
Application which its veracity or otherwise can be established by
cross-examining the deponent.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

For this reason, 1st
Respondent/Applicant is praying that the Court orders the attendance of
the said Deponent Stanley Easemon-Quartey for Cross-Examination.<o:p></o:p>
