The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed an injunction application filed by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo. The application sought to halt the proceedings of a presidential committee investigating petitions for her removal from office.
Background of Application
Justice Torkornoo had filed the application to restrain the six-member committee established by President John Mahama from carrying out any inquiry related to the petitions until the substantive case is resolved. She also sought to disqualify two judges, Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, from participating in the investigation.
Court’s Decision
The Supreme Court dismissed the application in a unanimous ruling on May 28, 2025. The full written ruling is expected to be made available on June 12, 2025. This decision marks a significant development in the ongoing legal battle surrounding Justice Torkornoo’s suspension.
