In court on Friday, the Attorney Generals (AG) Department represented by Jacklin Appiah said the State needed time to file its statement of defense and that they could not do so due to some challenges. The court, after listening to the parties, ordered the AG to file its statement of defense today and report to court tomorrow. The suit was filed by Lawyer Garry Nimako Marfo for an Indian national who was arrested and deported in June, 2017 for fraud and other offenses. He has subsequently sued the Interior Minister, and the Director of Immigration, Mr Kwame Takyi. The deportee, Ashok Kumar Sivaram insists his deportation was illegal, unfair and an abuse of office by the officers in charge of the deportation and demands a return. The victim consequently filed a suit through his lawyer, Gary Nimako to request the court to annul the deportation order and for the two respondents to facilitate his return to Ghana. Background Ashok Sivaram was involved in a legal battle with a business partner, Sachin Nambeear, who was a director with 50% share in Jai Mai Communications Limited. Nambeear, filed a suit on January 24, 2017, at the High Court, Commercial Division 7, against Sivaram and accused him of breaking his fiduciary duties to the company and demanded damages for same.

But, before the valuation would be completed, Sivaram was arrested by Customs officials and deported on June 1, 2017, with an order from the Interior Ministry. Act was unconstitutional His lawyer, Nimako argued in the suit that his client could not have been deported merely on the basis and suspicion of forging a marriage certificate to acquire Ghanaian citizenship. He said it was only the court which was clothed with the power to determine acts of fraud; and that it did not lie with the Interior Minister to declare his client fraudulent and proceed to deport him. He, thus, is seeking the following reliefs: “That fraud can only be established by a court of law after evidence of same had been led and proof thereof established beyond reasonable doubt. “That the conclusion by the 1st respondent that the continued presence of Ashok Kumar Sivaram was not conducive to the public good was not backed by any evidential proof and thereby amounted to gross abuse of the exercise of discretionary power vested in the 1st respondent. “That the deportation order was not backed by any Executive Instrument, therefore the said deportation was unlawful. That the respondents’ decision to deport the applicant was not fair and that as administrative officials, they were enjoined by the 1992 Constitution to act fairly, reasonably and comply with the requirements imposed on them by law. “That the 1st respondent in exercising his discretion to deport the applicant ought to have been fair and candid in the exercise of that power. That this honourable court has the supervisory jurisdiction to ensure that administrative officials exercised their powers legally that is within the confines of the law.” •Ambrose Dery, Minister of Interior Land dispute turns ugly… Over 100 rendered homeless BY FRANCISCA EMEFA ENCHILL PHOTO: ABIGAIL ASARE ASEVENTY-YEAR- OLD woman, a threemonth old baby and over a hundred others have been rendered homeless at Tsuimaame, a suburb of Odorkor. The victims, who occupy a 26- room compound house, became homeless following a court ruling which resulted in a change of ownership of the land on which the compound house was built. Following the ruling, an eviction notice was pasted on the walls of the compound two weeks ago, but the occupants of the rooms refused to pack out because their rents were not due. O Friday June 21, the new landlord, with the help of personnel of the Ghana Police Service, forcibly evicted the tenants and threw out their belongings. Speaking in an interview with the the DAILY HERITAGE, one of ELECTRICAL SAFETY TIT-BITS SAFETY TIPS •If you must get into the vehicle during refuelling, discharge any static electricity by touching metal on the outside of the • At Odorkor the victims, Esi Koko narrated that they were awake as usual around 5:30am when the entire household was besieged by armed police officers and some of the area boys. She said the police yelled at every tenant in house to assemble in the middle of the house and ordered the area boys to throw out the belongings of the tenants. •Dejected residents after the eviction PHOTOS: ABIGAIL ASARE The police officers refused to identify themselves or the station they came from. She said there was an eviction notice, but the notice did not indicate when they had to pack out. Some of the residents disclosed to the paper that they came to meet an empty site which was given out to them by the then landlord to build vehicle, away from the filling point, before removing the nozzle from your vehicle. •Use only approved portable containers for transporting or storing gasoline. Make sure the container is in a stable position. •Never fill a portable container when it is in or on the vehicle. Always place the container on the ground first.

She indicated that she had occupied the structure she put up by herself for some years now and per her occupancy agreement with the previous landlord, the rent would expire in the next two years. The stranded evictees were seen seeking refuge from colleagues from nearby houses. Meanwhile, one Nii Kodjo Korley who said he was the new landlord disclosed to the paper that he had not treated the residents unjustly as the one they referred to as landlord was not the legal owner of the said land on which the evictees were occupying. He disclosed that many years ago, his grandfather loaned the land to a friend, a herbalist, who put up a mud house on the land and pleaded with his grandfather to allow him live there as he builds his own house. According to Mr Korley, his grandfather later took his father to meet the man to make him aware that he was the legal owner of the land as he was an only son to his grandfather. He added that despite giving the land to the herbalist, the legal documentation was given to his father by his grandfather, and there was no problem about ownership of the land until 10 years ago when they took the matter to court. He added that the court trial lasted for years until there was a ruling in favor of them two years ago. ”We have done nothing wrong to these evictees; it is simply a court ruling we are acting on.” He added. portable containers in the back of pick-up trucks, particularly those with plastic bed liners. Removing the container will also prevent a dangerous spill of gasoline. •When filling a portable container, keep the nozzle in direct contact with the container. Fill it only about 95 per cent full to leave room for expansion.
