The Supreme Court has, by a unanimous decision, dismissed an injunction application filed by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Araba Esaaba Sackey Torkornoo.
The suspended Chief Justice filed the application seeking to halt the proceedings of a presidential committee investigating petitions for her removal from office.
In the application filed May 21, 2025, she prayed the apex court to issue an interlocutory injunction against the six-member committee established by President John Mahama.
She asked the court to restrain the committee from carrying out any inquiry related to the petitions until the substantive case is resolved.
Justice Torkornoo also 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.
She further prayed the court to disqualify Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu from presiding over or contributing to the committee’s deliberations.
However, the Supreme Court, in a unanimous ruling on Wednesday, May 28, dismissed the application.
The full written ruling by the court is expected to be made available on June 12, 2025.
