The intervention was communicated through an official notice dated August 3, 2026, from the Office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
The order effectively prevents Criminal Court “C” from taking additional action on the contested proceedings until the Supreme Court reviews the legal issues raised by the petition.
The latest Supreme Court intervention now places the proceedings under the review of the country’s highest court, with the petitioners asking the Supreme Court to examine the actions of the lower court and determine whether the proceedings should be restrained.
Named as respondents are Judge Ousman F. Feika, Assigned Circuit Judge of Criminal Court “C,” and the Ministry of Justice.
The petition brings the actions of the lower court before the Supreme Court at a critical stage in the broader controversy.
