The Supreme Court has overruled an objection by state attorneys seeking to exclude members of the Pwamang Committee from the application filed by suspended Chief Justice, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, challenging her suspension and the ongoing proceedings for her removal.
During court proceedings on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the Deputy Attorney-General, Dr Justice Srem-Sai, representing the state, urged the Court to exclude the members of the committee from Justice Torkornoo's suit.
He argued that Justice Torkornoo had indicated in her application that the committee members would not be directly affected by the writ.
However, former Attorney-General Godfred Dame, counsel for Justice Torkornoo, countered that the basis for removing a party from a suit is not whether the person would be affected, but whether they are proper parties to the action.
