The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed the injunction application filed by the suspended Chief Justice, Gertrude Torkornoo.

In its ruling on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, the Supreme Court said there was no merit in the application. 

This ruling was delivered a few hours after her supplementary affidavit was also struck out unanimously by the Court.

Justice Torkornoo filed the application on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, asking the apex court to issue an interlocutory injunction against the six-member committee established by President John Mahama.

She also requested that Justices Pwamang and Adibu-Asiedu be disqualified from presiding over or contributing to the committee’s deliberations.
