Indicted\u00a0High Court judge, Justice Paul Dery, has filed a fresh suit at the Supreme Court seeking to nullify a petition by investigative Journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, and his Tiger Eye PI, private investigation\u00a0firm for his removal.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Justice Paul Dery wants the petition calling on the Chief Justice to impeach 32 lower and high court judges over allegations of bribery dismissed.<\/p>\n

This suit follows another one he had filed earlier, which was dismissed by the Supreme Court on Thursday.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”3ly6Hnoqpwqm6CxfJdaVPP1PINm4uI9m”]In their ruling, the five-member panel of justices, chaired by Justice Julius Ansah, indicated that despite the breach of the provision of confidentiality clause by the petitioner [Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI] for the removal of the\u00a0justices, there is no provision for annulment of the process as a remedy to the matter.<\/p>\n

But in his new suit filed together with\u00a0Justice Mustapha Habib Logoh and Gilbert Ayisi Addo, \u00a0the trio argue\u00a0that investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas\u2019 Tiger Eye PI firm lacks the capacity to petition the President for their removal from the bench.<\/p>\n

Reliefs Justice Paul Dery is seeking in his new suit:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1.A declaration that the petitions that the Tigereye PI filed with the President of Ghana for the removal of the Plaintiffs as Justices of the Superior Court are inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 146 (3) of the 1992 Constitution as Tigereye PI lacked legal capacity to file the said petitions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A declaration that the President\u2019s referrals of the Tigereye PI\u2019s petition to the Chief Justice to determine whether there is a prima facie case against the Plaintiffs are inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 146 (3) of the 1992 Constitution as Tigereye PI lacked legal capacity to file the said petitions.<\/li>\n
  2. A declaration that the Chief Justice\u2019s request to the 2nd<\/sup> Defendant\u2019s request to the 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> plaintiffs to respond to the petitions filed by the 1st<\/sup> Defendant for the determination of whether there is a prima facie case against the 1st<\/sup> and 2nd<\/sup> plaintiffs is inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 146 (3) of the 1992 Constitution as the 1st<\/sup> Defendant lacked the legal capacity to file the said petitions.<\/li>\n
  3. A declaration that the determination by the 2nd<\/sup> Defendant that there is a prima facie case for the 3rd<\/sup> plaintiff to answer is inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 146 (3) of the 1992 Constitution as the 1st<\/sup> Defendant lacked the legal capacity to file the said petition.<\/li>\n
  4. An order nullifying the petitions filed by the 1st<\/sup> Defendant with the President of Ghana against the plaintiffs as it had no legal capacity to file the said petitions.<\/li>\n
  5. An order of perpetual injunction against any investigative or adjudicative body howsoever or whatsoever described from determining any issues arising out of the petitions filed by the 1st<\/sup> Defendants against the plaintiffs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
