In Brief
The Supreme Court considered an appeal concerning the High Court's decision to grant the appellant liberty to approach the civil court. The Court held that where a statutory authority has jurisdiction over a matter, that authority—not the civil courts—is the appropriate forum to adjudicate the issue. The Court therefore modified the High Court's order to that extent and disposed of the appeal without interfering with the substance, noting that elections were being held. No costs were awarded.
