Fourteen Circuit Court Judges Are Contending That the Procedure Is Flawed and Therefore Unlawful

Meanwhile another suit filed by some fourteen 
Lower Court Judges and Magistrates to restrain the Judicial Council from further hearing of the bribery allegation against them has been adjourned to the 25th 
of this month.

The fourteen, who are part of the 22 Circuit Court Judges and Magistrates implicated in Anas' video, are challenging the procedure adopted by the Chief Justice in addressing their issue.

They are contending that the procedure is flawed and therefore unlawful.

The plaintiffs therefore want a halt to the committee's sitting.  Acting Solicitor General Helen Sewu, in a response, has also filed an application to strike out the pleadings of the plaintiffs which she described as frivolous and without merit.
  
The application was however short served as the plaintiffs received a copy at 9:15am today when the court was in session instead of the seven day period stipulated by law.
 
This called for an adjournment to enable the plaintiffs to study and respond to it accordingly.
