The Supreme Court on May 6 dismissed an injunction sought by a Member of Parliament for Old Tafo, Vincent Assafuah, against the commencement of proceedings to hear three petitions to remove Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo.
The application, filed by opposition NPP legislator, was presented in court by his lawyer and former Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame.
Acting Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie, along with Justices Yonny Kulendi and Amadu Tanko, ruled to dismiss the injunction request. Justices Henrietta Mensah Bonsu and Ernest Gaewu dissented, opposing the majority decision.
