Former Jasikan Circuit Court Judge, Alfred Kwabena Asiedu, who was dismissed over alleged misconduct, has initiated legal proceedings against the Judicial Service, Chief Justice Her Ladyship Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, and the Attorney General.
This comes after he was dismissed by the Chief Justice for allegedly abusing his power and sexually exploiting a client who came to his court for legal redress.
Initially refuting the accusations as products of the petitioner’s imagination, Mr Asiedu is now petitioning the court to declare his removal from office as ‘unlawful.’
Among the reliefs being sought, Mr Asiedu requests a declaration that his removal from office, as outlined in the letter dated November 13, 2023, signed by the 2nd Respondent (Chief Justice), is unlawful.
Additionally, he seeks declarations asserting that both the Disciplinary Committee and the Judicial Council exceeded their authority in finding him guilty of malicious prosecution.
