King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II has filed an application at the Supreme Court to quash the order directed at the National House of Chiefs in Kumasi to restore Nii Tackie Adama Latse II onto the national register of chiefs as the Ga Mantse. In a certiorari application, Nii Teiko Tsuru also wants the apex court to set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal which upheld the High Court's ruling, which first gave the order in November 2021 for Nii Adama Latse's name to be restored in the register.
The motion, which was filed by counsel for the Ga Mantse, Professor Peter A.
Atupare, argues that the High Court judge, Justice Frederick Tetteh, before ordering the restoration of Nii Adama Latse's name, did not give Nii Tackie Teiko a notice and hearing, thereby violating the rule of natural justice.
The High Court, it said, failed to afford Nii Tackie Teko his constitutional right to be heard in proceedings that directly affected his rights and interests as Ga Mantse.
