The Supreme Court on Wednesday unanimously dismissed an injunction application filed by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo, which sought to halt the proceedings of a presidential committee investigating some petitions for her removal from office.
Justice Torkornoo filed the application on May 21, 2025, asking the apex court to issue an interlocutory injunction against the five-member committee established by President John Mahama.
The application aimed to restrain the committee from carrying out any inquiry related to the petitions until the substantive case is resolved.
According to court documents, the Chief Justice sought an order specifically barring Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu as well as other committee members including Daniel Yao Domelevo, Major Flora Bazuwaaruah Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dziasah from participating in the investigation.
The Embattled Chief Justice also requested that Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu be disqualified from presiding over or contributing to the committee’s deliberations.
However, the apex court, in a unanimous ruling dismissed the application. The full written ruling is expected to be made available on June 12, 2025. Enditem
