High Court quashes Maraga advisory on Parliament dissolution

A five-judge bench of the High Court has quashed an advisory issued to the President by Chief Justice Emeritus David Maraga in September 2020 for the dissolution of Parliament over its repeated failure to enact legislation for the realisation of the not more than two-thirds gender principle. Although the bench found that the requirements of Article 261(6)(b) were not met, they maintained that the underlying court orders remain in effect.
