The Supreme Court has granted an application by the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to stay the Court of Appeal’s order directing the promotion of 40 Chief Inspectors of the Ghana Police Service.
The officers were reportedly excluded from an amnesty promotion exercise, prompting a legal dispute over their promotion.
The Court of Appeal had earlier issued an order directing that the 40 Chief Inspectors be promoted. However, the IGP challenged the order at the Supreme Court and applied for a stay of execution.
By granting the application, the Supreme Court has temporarily suspended the enforcement of the Court of Appeal’s order while the legal process continues.
The development means the directive to promote the officers will not be implemented for now, pending further proceedings in the case.
The dispute centres on the officers’ exclusion from the amnesty promotion exercise and the legal steps taken to address the matter.
Further details about the reasons for the Supreme Court’s decision and the next stage of the proceedings have not been confirmed in the information available.
The case remains subject to further legal determination, and the latest ruling should not be interpreted as a final decision on the officers’ entitlement to promotion.
