Supreme Court offers Mutharika victory over Chakwera, overturns 2020 High Court ruling

Former President Peter Mutharika has secured a major victory in opposition to the “Chakwera Administration” after Malawi’s Supreme Court of Appeal overturned a 2020 High Court ruling.

The preliminary ruling ordered Mutharika and Justice Lloyd Muhara to pay MK69 million in prices for a judicial evaluation initiated by HRDC, Magistrates Association of Malawi, and the Malawi Law Society.

The Supreme Court’s reversal not solely cleared Mutharika and Muhara of the prices but in addition ordered the plaintiffs to pay prices for each the High Court and the Supreme Court.

Charles Mhango, a part of Mutharika’s authorized crew, confirmed this growth in a Facebook publish, highlighting the total bench of seven justices’ resolution to reverse the High Court judgment made on November 20, 2020.

This judicial evaluation stemmed from Mutharika and Muhara’s alleged involvement in forcing Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda and Justice of Appeal Edward Twea to go on go away pending retirement.

The High Court initially discovered them responsible and ordered them to pay K69.5 million in authorized charges to legal professionals representing Malawi Law Society, Human Rights Defenders Coalition and Association of Magistrates in Malawi.

The Supreme Court’s resolution underscores Mutharika’s dedication to justice and the rule of regulation.

His authorized crew, together with Hon. Samuel Tembenu, SC and Mhango, performed a vital function in securing this victory.
