JUDGMENT
BY COURT: Before this Court is a Motion on Notice for an Order for Committal for
Contempt filed on 10th August, 2022. The Deponent filed an Affidavit in Opposition on
20/09/2022. He claimed in Paragraph 9 that the Applicants are his children and therefore
he would not deny them what rightfully belongs to them. He claims it was a simple
misunderstanding between the parties. A supplementary Affidavit was filed by the
Applicants with the leave of the Court on 14/2/2023. Though the Respondent was served,
he refused to file any response thereto. He stated that the property belongs to him, he
claims it was given to him by his mother. He claimed he has not done anything for him
to be cited in contempt. He finally claimed that he did not file any Affidavit in Opposition
to the instant suit and that he did not know who filed it. The Court found the
Respondent’s behaviour very confrontational and his demeanour very disrespectful to
the Court. Given that he claims he has no response to the instant motion, the Court hereby
grants the Motion as prayed and cites the Respondent in Contempt of Court.
BY COURT: The Court hereby sentences him to three months in prison and he should
release Applicant’s property to them without any interference whatsoever.
