Supreme Court adjourns injunction case on CJ’s removal to May 6
The Supreme Court has adjourned again, hearing of the application seeking to injunct the President and Council of State from determining whether there is a prima facie case in the petitions seeking the removal of the Chief Justice.
One of the five Justices presiding over the case, His Lordship Samuel Asiedu, was absent when the case was called. Presiding Judge, Her Ladyship Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, explained that they “have had problems and for unavoidable reasons have to adjourn.”
She thus adjourned the case to May 6.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine has rejected calls for President John Dramani Mahama to hold on to proceedings for the determination of a Prima Facie case on the petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice.
This is in response to a statement by Godfred Yeboah Dame, the plaintiff’s lawyer in the case challenging the processes for the determination of the prima facie, that the President is enjoined by the injunction filed to halt all proceedings relating to the petition.
In an interview with the press on Wednesday, April 16, after court proceedings, Dr. Dominic Ayine argued that the President cannot be enjoined from undertaking his constitutional duty.
