This followed the withdrawal of the application for injunction against Anas by Justice Paul Uuter Dery, one of the High Court judges caught on video allegedly receiving bribe.
According to Graphic Online’s court reporter Mabel Aku Baneseh, counsel for Justice Dery withdrew the injunction application against Anas on Tuesday morning.
Justice Dery within a week filed three separate applications all aimed at stopping Anas from airing the video showing him and 33 other judges and magistrates taking bribes to compromise cases before them.
He is challenging the legality of the video which captured him [Dery] taking bribe and thus filed an application for injunction to restrain Anas from showing the said video and a motion for contempt urging the court to imprison Anas and four others for leaking portions of the controversial video to the media.
According to our reporter the application has been struck out following the withdrawal.
This means that nothing is currently blocking Anas as an individual from going ahead with the premiere.
The premiere is scheduled for 4pm and 8pm respectively on Tuesday September 22 and Wednesday September 23 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).
