The Supreme Court has, in a 4-1 majority ruling, thrown out a case filed by the Centre for Citizenship, Constitutional and Electoral Systems (CenCES), which challenged President John Mahama's suspension of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo and sought to halt the inquiry into her possible removal.
The court's five-member panel, led by Justice Baffoe-Bonnie, sided with the presidency, allowing the work of the investigative committee to proceed.
Justice Yaw Asare Darko was the sole dissenter.
CenCES had contended that the President's actions violated constitutional provisions guaranteeing judicial independence and due process.
