The Supreme Court has adjourned the hearing of the injunction application seeking to restrain President John Dramani Mahama and the Council of State from proceeding with steps to determine a prima facie case in the petitions for the removal of the Chief Justice.
The case was postponed on Wednesday, April 16, after one of the five panel members, Justice Samuel Asiedu, was absent. Presiding judge, Justice Henrietta Mensah Bonsu, explained the adjournment was due to unforeseen circumstances.
“We have had problems and, for unavoidable reasons, have to adjourn,” she told the court before adjourning proceedings to May 6, 2025.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Dr. Dominic Ayine has dismissed arguments suggesting the President must suspend his role in the ongoing process to determine whether there is a case for the Chief Justice’s removal.
His comments came in reaction to submissions made by Godfred Yeboah Dame, counsel for the plaintiff, who argued that the injunction application legally binds the President from continuing any action related to the petition.
Speaking to journalists after the court session, Dr. Ayine maintained that the President remains within his constitutional right to act. “The President cannot be enjoined from undertaking his constitutional duty,” he stated.
