The magistrate and the registrar of the Adidome District Magistrate Court have been ordered to appear before a Ho High Court presided over by Justice Kofi Essel-Mensah on Tuesday, August 17, 2010 to substantiate an alleged invalid interim injunction they issued to the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU).
Mr Seth Aduedem and Mr John Otoo were alleged to have issued an injunction restraining the Adidome branch of the GPRTU from holding its executive elections on July 21, 2010.
According to records at the Ho High Court, the alleged injunction was issued by Mr Otoo and signed by Mr Aduedem at the instance of one George Dzreke, a member of the Adidome branch of the GPRTU, on July 20.
Upon the grant of the interim injunction, the Adidome District Magistrate Court also copied to the Volta Regional Secretariat of the GPRTU and a three-member interim committee made up of Messrs Divine Gbadegbe, James Honya and Geoffrey Amenuvor was set up to run the affairs of the district.
The committee then conducted a search at the Adidome District Magistrate Court on July 22, 2010 where it was discovered that no writ had been filed and that Mr Otoo had forged the interim injunction.
The interim management committee of the Adidome branch of the GPRTU then filed a writ of Certiorari at the Ho High Court to quash the forged interim injunction order.
The Ho High Court, presided over by Justice Essel-Mensah, ordered the two, the magistrate and registrar, to appear before him on August 17, 2010 to justify why they had the forged interim injunction they were alleged to have issued.
