The Supreme Court has deferred its ruling on an application for an interlocutory injunction seeking to restrain Parliament from transmitting the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill to the Presidency.
The five-member panel, presided over by Chief Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, adjourned the ruling until the substantive case is heard and determined.
The court also deferred its ruling on a similar application filed by broadcast journalist Richard Dela Sky against the anti-LGBTQ+ bill.
The two lawsuits, filed by Dr. Amanda Odoi and Richard Dela Sky, challenge the constitutionality of the Anti-LGBTQ+ bill passed by Parliament.
The plaintiffs argue that the bill violates various provisions of the 1992 Constitution and seeks declarations and injunctions to prevent its implementation.
The Supreme Court’s decision comes as a temporary reprieve for the controversial bill, which has sparked intense debate and criticism from human rights groups.
