The Supreme Court has indefinitely adjourned the hearing of an application seeking to halt the ongoing process to determine a prima facie case in petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice.

The adjournment came after the Attorney General, who had requested permission from the Chief Justice, was absent from the hearing.

He had earlier sought a suspension of all cases involving his office from April 7 to April 10, citing a training programme for state attorneys.

Two state attorneys, including a former personal assistant to Attorney General Godfred Dame, appeared before the court to formally request an adjournment.
