The panel of three chaired by Judicial Secretary Justice Cynthia Pamela A. Koranteng, said the grounds of appeal do not comply with the rules of the Court as required.

The panel which also comprised Justice Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe and Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, also ruled that the impugn grounds of the appeal filed do not comply with the rules of Appeal.

The grounds of appeal, according to the panel were “incompetent and strike out.”

Panel prior to ruling on Mr Ablakwa’s application overruled an objection against the panel and allegations against the Chief Justice on the panel.
