The Human Rights Court has thrown out a suit brought by Charles Bissue against the Office of the Special Prosecutor(OSP) and the Kaneshie District Court.
The Court in addition, awarded a cost of GHȼ10,000 against Charles Bissue for wasting the time of the court and deceiving the court into believing that the OSP had unlawfully procured an arrest warrant to harass him when it was a “figment of his imagination”, the court added.
This is the case in which Charles Bissue secured a 10-day injunction application ex parte to stop the OSP from arresting him.
His lawyers in the ex parte application had told the court to stop the OSP on grounds that the Office had secured an arrest warrant unlawfully. The OSP never secured any such warrant.
Justice Nana Brew informed the Court that he had considered the entirety of the docket before him and that the matter hinged on whether or not an arrest warrant was issued by the second respondent (Kaneshie District Court) in favour of the first respondent( OSP) against the applicant Charles Bissue).
The Judge said the onus was on the applicant to prove that such a warrant was issued. “However, the applicant failed to do so. No arrest warrant was ever issued by the second respondent. The whole thing was a figment of the applicant’s imagination.”
The Judge thus dismissed the application awarding cost of GH¢10,000 to the first respondent (OSP) against the applicant.
