Supreme court adjourns Chief Justice injunction case to May 6

[ad_1]

The Supreme Court has, for the second time, postponed hearing an injunction application intended to stop proceedings that could lead to the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Sackey Torkornoo.

At today’s sitting, only four justices were present instead of the expected five-member panel. Justice Henrietta Mensa-Bonsu, who presided, informed the courtroom that the case had to be adjourned to May 6, 2025, due to unavoidable circumstances.

In court for the proceedings were Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Ayine; his deputy, Dr Justice Srem Sai; and former Attorney-General Godfred Yeboah Dame, who is representing the applicant.

This marks the second adjournment of the case. The first was on April 9, 2025, when the court postponed the hearing indefinitely following a request from the Attorney-General’s Office, which cited a prior engagement involving a state attorneys’ conference in Accra.

The adjournments have left many observers eager to see how the legal battle unfolds in the coming weeks.
