The Supreme Court has struck out a supplementary affidavit filed by suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo in support of her injunction application.
The affidavit, among other claims, alleged inhumane treatment, violation of her dignity, and described the ongoing proceedings as a "mockery of justice" and a ruse to unjustly remove her from office.
However, the apex court ruled that the contents of the supplementary affidavit pertain to events occurring during committee proceedings that are supposed to be held in camera.
A five-member panel of the court, therefore, upheld an objection raised by the Attorney General and dismissed the supplementary affidavit accordingly.
