OCT 27, 2016 LISTEN

The lawyer for High Court judge, Justice Paul Dery says he is filing another suit against journalist Anas Aremyaw Anas after the Apex court dismissed his earlier case.

Nii Kpakpo Addo said this after a suit filed by Justice Dery seeking to nullify a petition by investigative journalist Anas for his removal was dismissed Thursday.

The troubled judge had prayed the court to declare that the petition that Tiger Eye PI filed with President John Mahama for his removal was inconsistent with and in contravention of Article 146 (3) of the 1992 Constitution.

The suit was filed following the dismissal of an earlier suit by the Supreme Court.

The Apex court in its ruling said despite the fact that the petition to the President was written on the Letter Head of Tiger Eye PI, there was no doubt per the content, the petitioner was Anas Aremeyaw Anas and not the company.
