Law students association express disappointment over case adjournment
The National Association of Law Students has expressed disappointment at the adjournment of the case they brought before the Human Rights Division of the Accra High Court, presided over by Justice Nicholas Mensah Abodakpi to November 9.
This was after the Attorney General requested for Short adjournment in order for him to file certain processes.
In their plea that was heard today the students prayed the court to “restrain the respondents from treating the applicants as students who failed the said examinations pending the final examination of this matter on grounds set forth and such further orders the court may deem fit.”
The students also want the court to declare that the failure of the Attorney General to reign in the 1st respondent for the conduct of the 1st Respondent as stated constitute a dereliction of the 2nd respondent’s duties under Act 32.
President of the Association Hasan Asare in expressing their disappointment after court proceedings revealed that they thought they would be able to secure an injunction for them to be able to join their colleagues in school since they believe they have met the requirement and therefore have the right to go to school.
He added that “Unfortunately, it has been adjourned to the 9th of November at 9 AM because I think the Attorney General is not ready and that we had to live by that.
“That is quite unfortunate because we are talking of time as students must go to school as soon as possible. But if that is what the court has decided on, we would have to abide by it so we would have no choice than to just wait until time.
“Even on that day, we hope that things would be facilitated quickly to arrive at a quick conclusion so that we can join our mates at school,” he added.
