Suspended Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, has filed an interlocutory injunction at the Supreme Court, to stop the five-member committee set up by President John Mahama, to inquire into three petitions against her.
The suit filed yesterday, petitioned the apex court to issue an order preventing the Committee from taking any action related to the prima facie case established against her.
She also wants the court to restrain two Supreme Court Judges, Justice Gabriel Scott Pwamang and Justice Samuel Kwame Adibu-Asiedu from participating in the proceedings of the Committee probing her. In her statement of claim, Mrs. Torkornoo, is urging the court to issue an order to quash her suspension.
The court should also restrain the committee from going ahead with the inquiry, the execution of the terms of reference of the committee or taking any action in connection with the purported determination of a prima facie case against her, until the hearing and final determination of lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the President Mahama’s action in the removal process.
