Kwaku Ansa-Asare, the former director of the Ghana School of Law, has referred to the legal action taken by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to stop proceedings addressing her possible removal from office as illegal.
Following three distinct petitions for her removal, Justice Torkornoo was suspended by President John Dramani Mahama under Article 146 of the Constitution.
She has now applied to the Supreme Court.
The move aims to prevent Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Asiedu from taking part in the investigation into the petitions because they allegedly had private meetings with a lawyer interested in the case.
