Alfred Kwabena Asiedu, a Jasikan Circuit Court judge who was fired by Chief Justice Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Torkornoo for suspected misbehavior, has launched a case against the Judicial Service.
He had already said that the accusations made against him were only the product of the petitioner’s delusional thoughts.
He is pleading with the court to deem his ouster from office “illegal.”
A declaration that the removal of the applicant from office as a Circuit Court judge, as stated in the letter signed by the second respondent on November 3, 2023, is unlawful is one of the reliefs he is requesting.
“A proclamation that the Judicial Council and the Disciplinary Committee both exceeded their authority when they determined that the applicant had engaged in malicious prosecution, and a proclamation that the aforementioned conclusions are clearly erroneous on the face of the record and subject to revocation by this Court’s supervisory authorities.”
On January 16, Singari Diana Sadia filed a petition with the Chief Justice, charging the judge with impropriety, malicious prosecution, abuse of power, and sexual exploitation.
The petition was subsequently forwarded to the Judiciary Service disciplinary committee, which looked into it and concluded that the judge’s misconduct called for his or her dismissal.
Thus, the judge was instructed in writing by the Chief Justice to turn over to the Judicial Secretary all official belongings that he possessed, such as his official car, dockets, and record books.
