Re: ‘Fix emergency doors or be grounded, court orders bus owners

We act as solicitors for V.I.P Jeoun Transport Company Limited; and it is on the instructions of the board of directors that we write this rejoinder.

Respectfully; the above quoted headline in your newspaper published on page 16 of the February 3, 2015 issue of your paper was not only misleading but was also full of inaccuracies and very preposterous.  It is palpably false for your correspondent, Mr Victor Kwawukume, to report that His Lordship, Kofi Essel Mensah, sitting at the Human Rights Court on  January 20, 2015 ordered that “commercial and public omnibuses operating without emergency doors have been given nine weeks to correct the defects or risk being grounded”.

Secondly and more importantly; the learned trial judge has never delivered any ruling in an application for judicial review titled: The Republic vrs DVLA and others, suit no. HRCM/50/15 as erroneously published.  Neither has the learned trial judge delivered any ruling in the civil suit titled: Ose Kwabena VRS D.V.L.A. and others, Suit  No. BRC 70/2011

We take very strong exception to such falsehood and misleading information.  Such publications tend to undermine and impugn the administration of justice.  They tend to sort to poison the stream of justice and create obstructions on the “highways of justice.”
