The Supreme Court has, by a 4 to 1 majority decision, dismissed an application brought before it by a private citizen, Theodore Kofi Atta-Quartey, challenging the process to possibly remove the suspended Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkonoo, from office.
The application was deemed unmeritorious and subsequently dismissed on Wednesday, May 21.
This is the second suit on the same matter to have been dismissed by the Supreme Court panel on the same day.
In the earlier suit, the Court, also by a 4-1 majority decision, dismissed a case filed by the Centre for Citizenship, Constitutional and Electoral Systems (CenCES) that sought to reverse President John Mahama's suspension of the Chief Justice and halt the work of the committee set up to consider her possible removal from office.
