A former Director of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, is calling for a dismissal of an injunction at the Supreme Court filed by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo to stop a committee from hearing petitions for her removal because there is no justification to stop the process.
The suspended Chief Justice filed the application on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, requesting an interlocutory injunction to halt all proceedings of the committee.
Aside from the Supreme Court suit, other private citizens have petitioned President John Dramani Mahama to dissolve the committee probing the case, citing possible bias due to the alleged engagement between some committee members and Thaddues Sory, a lawyer for one of the petitioners seeking the removal of the Chief Justice from office.
According to court documents, the Chief Justice wants the Supreme Court to issue an order restraining the six-member committee, composed of Justices Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu, as well as Daniel Yao Domelevo, Major Flora Bazuwaaruah Dalugo, and Professor James Sefah Dzisah, from proceeding with any inquiry related to the petitions brought against her.
