However, the CCT, via a statement by the Head of its Press & Public Relations Department, Mr. Ibraheem Al-hassan, said it has adjourned all sittings scheduled for this week and those to come within July and August, till the end of recess to be embarked by the Tribunal’s Judges soon.

Justice Umar however assured litigants currently with cases before the court, that they would be given new dates at the end of the vacation in September.
