Supreme Court sitting rounds off

The quarterly session of the Supreme Court of The Gambia rounded off on Friday after the panel had dealt with 11 criminal and civil cases.

The two-week long sitting was presided over by a five-member panel of judges, headed by Chief Justice AK Savage. Most of the cases were duly handled; some were adjourned to the next session, while others were struck out in an array of judgements, notably that of Hamat Bah and Omar Jallow. 

The case involving a legal battle over the Local Government Amendment Act was deferred to the next session, as well as the appeal case of Abdoulie Conteh, the former mayor of KMC.
