The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has had its case challenging the High Court's ruling, which ordered the Electoral Commission to collate and declare parliamentary results for four disputed constituencies, adjourned indefinitely.
The constituencies include Tema Central, Okaikwei Central, Ablekuma North, and Techiman South.
The NDC appealed to the Supreme Court to overturn the High Court's decision, following a mandamus application filed by the New Patriotic Party.
However, the five-member panel of the Supreme Court, led by Justice Gabriel Pwamang, adjourned the matter due to the failure to serve the Interested Parties.
"Since the Interested Parties have not been served, the application would be adjourned sine die (indefinitely) in order for them to be served," the Supreme Court said.
Mr. Gary Nimako Marfo, representing some interested parties, informed the court that he had not been served, although he was present on a different matter.
Mr. Gideon Abotsi, representing the NDC, requested that the NPP be served with the necessary processes in court.
In another matter, the Supreme Court also indefinitely adjourned an application seeking certiorari and prohibition against a High Court in Koforidua, Eastern Region.
The application was filed by Mr. Gary Nimako Marfo on behalf of Ernest Kumi, with the interested parties being Henry Boakye Yiadom, the Electoral Commission, and the Clerk of Parliament.
The applicant in this case argued that the High Court Judge in Koforidua made a jurisdictional error by assuming jurisdiction over the Parliamentary Election petition concerning the Akwatia Constituency.
The applicant pointed out that this occurred before the EC had published the Gazette Notification of the election results, as required by law.
"The learned High Court Judge breached the rules of natural justice when he heard and granted application for interim injunction against the applicant without the notice to him when he knew or ought to have known that the applicant and the Akwatia constituents would be injuriously affected by the grant of the said application.
"The learned High Court Judge was biased and highly prejudiced against the applicant to the extent that even when he was informed that there was no gazette notification of the Parliamentary Election results in Akwatia Constituency, he proceeded to rely on online news portal and repealed legislation to hold that the results had been gazette," the applicant said.
The applicant is requesting the Supreme Court to declare that the petition filed by Henry Boakye Yiadom on December 31, 2024, is invalid, as it was filed without the necessary Gazette notification of the Parliamentary Election results.
The applicant argued that, without the notification, the petition did not properly invoke the jurisdiction of the High Court, making any orders based on it void.
The applicant is also seeking the Supreme Court to quash the Koforidua High Court's ruling of January 6, 2025, and the interim injunction order of January 2, 2025.
The applicant also requested an order of prohibition to prevent the High Court Judge from continuing to hear the Election Petition, citing lack of jurisdiction.
