A seven- member panel of Supreme Court justices chaired by Justice William Atuguba has ordered lawyers for two persons who are challenging the admission of the two Guantanamo Bay ex-detainees into the country to file further submissions in 14 days.
They are also to serve the Attorney General (AG) department within the same period.
This was after counsel for the two applicants, Nana Baffour Adjei Bawuah had informed the court that they want to make further submissions to their case.
The court also instructed AG’s department to reply to the submissions in seven days.
Ultimate News’ Ibrahim Alhassan reported that the apex court also struck out certain portions of the State case after a Senior State Attorney Mr. Sylvester Williams, who replaced acting solicitor general Mrs Ellen Ziwu in the case had prayed for them to be struck out.
The panel which also include Justice Sophia Adinyira, Justice Vida Akoto Bamfo, Justice Jones Dotse, Justice Annin Yeboah, Justice Baffoe Bonney and Justice Ampah Bennin subsequently adjourned the case to February 8, 2017 for hearing.
