DENNIS ADJEI, J.A.:
The Applicant is praying this court to commit the Respondents for contempt for willfully and deliberately ignoring and defying an application for interlocutory injunction which was pending before the District Court Madina, Accra.
The application for interlocutory injunction was seeking to restrain the respondents from developing and or doing any act in respect of a plot of land at Dzan Ayor.
The 2nd respondent who was described by the applicant as purchaser or trespasser was not served with the application for committal for contempt.
The 1st respondent who was served with the application opposed it and stated that he had not done anything contemptuous of the pending application before the District Court.The brief facts of this application are that the 1st respondent herein took an action against the applicant herein at the District Court,Accra.
The 1st respondent subsequently obtained judgment against the applicant for a declaration of title to a plot at Dzan Ayor and an order for interlocutory injunction.
The applicant applied to the District Court to set aside the judgment obtained by the 1st Respondent against him and a further order staying the execution of the said judgment.
When the application to set aside the judgment was pending the applicant filed an application for interlocutory injunction to restrain the respondent from dealing with the subject matter of the suit in which he has obtained judgment.
It is this application which the applicant claims to have been flouted by the 1st respondent.
The relevant paragraphs of the application for contempt are paragraphs 11,12,13,14,15,16,17, and 18 of the supporting affidavit.

That the case is still pending for hearing at the had not recovered my money from the plaintiff/respondent herein whatever monies he had given to any third party without my knowledge and consent.
That my money is still with the plaintiff/Respondent herein this Honourable Court had not even granted any leave to the plaintiff/Respondent to return my part payment to me.
That I have not relinquished my land to the Plaintiff/Respondent herein.
