The Supreme Court has set May 9 this year as the date for judgment in a matter in which the Lusaka High Court halted proceedings of a tribunal appointed by President Michael Sata to investigate the alleged misconduct of Supreme Court judge and two High Court Judges.
This is in a case in which Supreme Court judge, Phillip Musonda, two High Court judges Nigel Mutuna and Charles Kajimanga have dragged the Attorney General to Court asking it to quash Mr Sata’s decision to constitute a tribunal to conduct investigations of their alleged misbehaviour or incompetence.
But in her ruling High Court judge Fulgence Chisanga granted the trio leave to seek judicial review in the matter which operated as a stay of Mr Sata’s decision to appoint a tribunal and suspend the judges and any adverse measures against the applicants.
The State having been not satisfied decided to appeal in the Supreme Court against Ms Chisanga’s ruling which operated as a stay to stop proceedings of a tribunal to investigate them on allegations leveled against them.
According to a notice of judgment issued yesterday by the master of the Supreme Court, Dories Nambela stated that the appeal would be heard and determined by the Supreme Court sitting on Thursday next week.
“Take notice that the above mentioned appeal will be heard and determined by the Supreme Court sitting in Lusaka on Thursday next week at 14:30 hours, for any reason if any part would be ready to attend file notices in advance,” she said.
