A High Court in Accra has deferred its judgment in the case seeking to determine if police have the right to examine the content of seized electronic gadgets without an authorization of a court.
The court postponed the judgment, scheduled for today [Thursday] because the presiding Judge, Justice Anthony Yeboah, could not prepare his judgment due to ill-health.
The lawsuit challenging the powers of the Police was brought by a private citizen, Edmund Addo whose laptop was seized by the Police and subjected to a vivid search to his displeasure, in an ongoing defilement case at the circuit court.
The lawyer for the applicant, Justice Srem Sai, did not raise any objection to court’s inability to present its judgment.
He rather indicated he and his client were ready to give the court the maximum time it needs to prepare and deliver its judgment.
Mr. Sai also added that the reliefs they were seeking for could affect future cases hence their readiness to wait for the decision of the court.
