A High Court in Accra has deferred its judgment in the case seeking to determine if police have the right to examine the content of seized electronic gadgets without authorization from a court.<\/p>\n
The court postponed the judgment, scheduled for today [Thursday], because the presiding Judge, Justice Anthony Yeboah, could not prepare his judgment due to ill-health.<\/p>\n
The lawsuit challenging the powers of the Police was brought by a private citizen, Edmund Addo, whose laptop was seized by the Police and subjected to a vivid search to his displeasure, in an ongoing defilement case at the circuit court.<\/p>\n
The lawyer for the applicant, Justice Srem Sai, did not raise any objection to the court’s inability to present its judgment.<\/p>\n
He rather indicated he and his client were ready to give the court the maximum time it needs to prepare and deliver its judgment.<\/p>\n
Mr. Sai also added that, the reliefs they were seeking for, could affect future cases hence their readiness to wait for the decision of the court.<\/p>\n
