The High Court has extended conservatory orders barring the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) from proceeding with removal petitions against several judges. The extension will remain in place until the case is fully heard and determined.
In a brief session, the court emphasized the need to preserve the status quo to ensure that due process is followed and the integrity of judicial proceedings is maintained.
The matter is scheduled for mention on July 4, 2025, when the court will set dates for the highlighting of submissions by the parties involved.
The conservatory orders provide temporary relief to the affected judges, shielding them from disciplinary action by the JSC while legal questions surrounding the petitions are resolved.
This case continues to draw attention as it touches on the delicate balance between judicial independence and accountability within Kenya’s legal framework.
