The Article 146 Committee of Inquiry has adjourned proceedings on the second petition seeking the removal of Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, following a joint request by both the petitioner and the Chief Justice.
The Committee, which is investigating three separate petitions submitted to President John Mahama in March this year, announced that it had intended to proceed with the second petition after concluding hearings on the first.
However, both the second petitioner and the Chief Justice formally pleaded for an adjournment.
Chairman of the Committee said the panel granted the request in the spirit of fairness and due process.
